rebaptizing
Second immersion rite
Rebaptizing is baptizing someone again.
Some Christian denominations require rebaptism when converts join from other traditions, not recognizing the original ceremony as valid.
Others rebaptize as a personal renewal of faith: She was rebaptized as an adult after returning to the church.
