Yes. There is scriptural precedent for being re-baptized: Acts 19:3-5 - And he said to them, "Into what then were you baptized?" So they said, "Into John's baptism." Then Paul said, "John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on Him who would come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus." When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

In some Christian traditions, individuals can be re-baptized if they feel called to reaffirm their faith or if the first baptism was not considered valid. However, other traditions believe in the sacramental nature of baptism, considering it a one-time event that cannot be repeated. It is best to consult with a religious leader from your specific faith tradition for guidance on this matter.

What is rebaptized?
Being baptized again.
How would a parent approach the issue of a 5 year old child who was baptized in a Pentecostal church being rebaptized in a Catholic ceremony?
You should discuss this with the Priest in the parish in which you want her to be baptized. If you are already Catholic, this should not be a big problem. If you are not, you may need to convert yourself. Chat with the priest and he'll take care of you. For the child there is no problem; because he does not understand any of this rituals. It's the parents because of their brain-washing that have problem. That's why the Amish don't baptize children. They wait until the child come of age where he now understand baptism And he can therefore opt to be baptized or reject it. I don't see any significance in baptism. Even Jesus himself did not baptize others. And if St. John, really believes that Jesus is god, then why did he continued with his ministry instead of following Jesus?
Was Jesus the first baptisim?
(Mark 1:4-8) John the Baptizer baptized inhabitants of Jerusalem in symbol of repentance for forgiveness of sins, in preparation for the coming of Messiah.(Matthew 3:1-6)(Luke 3:3) (Acts 13:24) The baptism of John was replaced by Jesus' command to baptize at (Matthew28:19) Paul and other apostles later baptized disciples, enabling them to get the 'gifts of the spirit' which were available at that time to assist with the preaching work in other languages (Acts 19:1-6)(Acts 2:41)
Can you become a Catholic if baptized in another christian church without completing the RICA classes and waiting until Easter or do you have to be baptized in the Catholic Church?
Yes and no... Yes, even if you are baptized in another Christian Church you must go through RCIA or religious instruction of some sorts... one of the major reasons is that by becoming Catholic you are participating in sacraments which are a covenant between you and the Lord. They are not to be entered into lightly. At Easter you would receive three sacraments at once, First Reconciliation, First Communion, and Confirmation. You would not be rebaptized. That being said, you can join your Catholic Church and "be" Catholic while you are going through the process of learning and educating yourself about the sacraments the same way children who are baptized Catholic and are not old enough to take Communion or Reconcilation or to be Confirmed "are" Catholic. (Not that I'm saying you're a child, please don't misunderstand). Take heart! We all had to do the same learning you'll do, only it took me 10 years of Catholic school to make all my Sacraments.
Who do Baptists baptise?
Baptists believe in baptism, but only for adults. They also don't believe that baptism saves -- they say that baptism is symbolic of the commitment a person has made to God (and therefore Christ) to follow Him. Therefore, since they believe that only adults can make such a commitment, they do not allow babies or young children to be baptized and require adults who convert from other churches to be rebaptized (or baptized for real, from their point of view). You should understand that while Catholics, Lutherans, and other sacramental Christians view baptism as part of God's grace, Baptists view baptism as a work of faith. Since they view baptism as a work, it therefore cannot save, despite the words of Jesus (Mark 16:16) and St. Peter (I Peter 3:21). Finally, Baptists believe that infants cannot have faith until their minds are developed to understand the teachings of Scripture, despite the words of Jesus (Mark 9:42). Therefore, they teach that children are saved apart from faith (the actual mechanism is disputed) until they are capable of faith.
What are the Anababtist?
Anabaptist is a term that was given to those men and women who were baptized at birth or baptized into a church, and when they bagan to study the Bible for themselves and learned that the Bible does not teach salvation through baptism but that salvation is through accepting and believing in Jesus Christ as their savior, and His blood atonement for their sins on the cross, they received Jesus, through faith, and learned that the Bible actually teaches that baptism is to follow salvation as an act of obedience to Christ and an outward showing of what took place in salvation through faith and representing the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Thus the term Anabaptist was applied to them because "Ana" means "re" or "to do again"... "Rebaptized". Though this is what the Bible clearly teaches, these men and women were often persecuted for their beliefs and even put to death by the Catholic church and even protestants like John Calvin and state churches.Romans 10:9-10, 13 That ih thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.... For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved... Acts 8:36-38 says And as they were on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
What does Excommunication from church means?
To be excommunicated from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' church) means that your rights of membership have been revoked and you are no longer considered a member of the Church. You may still attend worship services, but you cannot hold any positions ('callings') in the congregation. Excommunicated members are welcome to re-join the Church, but must be rebaptized and meet all the qualifications of a new convert. Excommunication is quite rare and happens only in the case of very serious sins, such as adultry, abuse, murder, and open rebellion against the Church. Candidates for excommunication meet with a group of local leaders which make up a Church Court, who determine if excommunication is necessary. Most often, the person is 'disfellowshipped', rather than excommunicated. Being disfellowshipped is much like being put on probation.

What is the difference between baptists and anabaptists?
Generally speaking, a Baptist is one who believes in certain Baptist distinctives. A Baptist holds to believer's baptism (not possible of infants), baptism by immersion, freedom of conscience for the soul, a church made up of true believers (as much as can be known), and the absolute authority of scripture. If these distinctives seem quite common today, it is because of the influence Baptists have had--especially in America. Many groups today hold to many of the Baptist distinctives while not calling themselves Baptists. But that is another story. An Anabaptist is by definition a re-baptizer. Baptists of earlier times denied that they rebaptized. They simply stated that the earlier experience that some church called baptism was not baptism at all. Historically, many peoples have been called Anabaptists. However, the group that is usually called such in the history books of today are said to have originated in Switzerland in the early 1500's. They were confederates of the reformer Zwingli and when he balked at baptism by immersion, they went on to more biblical Christianity. They were much persecuted and many died for the faith. Also, the majority of them believed in the Baptist distinctives. Connections between the Baptists and Anabaptists is a much-argued subject and many, many books have been written about this. The most obvious extension of the 16th century Anabaptists are the Mennonites and their related groups (like the Amish). There are evidences of Anabaptist influence on the 17th century English Baptists, but most modern scholars deny any direct connection. I believe that the influence was probably more than is generally allowed today. However, the Anabaptists tended toward some beliefs that are not common among Baptists today. As a result of their persecution, they were totally opposed to any participation in government: no belonging to public office, etc. They were also against Christians participating in war. Some of them leaned toward baptismal regeneration and they were Armenian in theology. All of these tendencies can be seen in certain Mennonite groups today. They have a great heritage, but in some areas I would not be able to go along with them.

Baptists get their name from their belief that it is an important thing to be baptized. They believe that being baptized DOES NOT make you a Christian, but displays your beliefs as a Christian to other members in the church.
