Baptizing is done in the Christian religion. Certain denominations of Christianity, for instance, Catholics or Lutherans baptize infants. Other denominations like Baptists and Pentacostals believe that baptism comes after a person believes in Jesus as their savior, which could be a child capable of understanding the gospel or an adult.

The Anabaptists are a group that believes that only adult baptism is valid.
Individual cannot validate adult baptisms as such. Bible believing Christians who believe in baptism by immersion, believe that even a young person who has accepted Jesus as their saviour can be baptized. Believers' baptism is in obedience to Jesus' commission to his disciples in Matthew 28 to preach the gospel and baptize in the name of the Father and Son and Holy Spirit. It is an act of obedience. The act of baptism is dying to self and rising to a new life in Christ. Paul taught to repent and be baptized. Only individuals who have reached the age of reasoning have the need to repent.

What is a valid baptism?
Baptism is valid when the individual being baptized has repented of his/her sins, has confessed that Christ is the Son of God and is fully immersed in water. The person doing the baptizing announces, as the individual goes down into the water that he "baptize you in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost." As the individual rises out of the water it is as if he is born again, coming up a new person, his old sins washed away and the Holy Spirit enters his soul. And now why delay? Arise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord (Acts 22:16).
Why doesn't the Catholic Church recognize a Baptist baptism?
As far as I know, the Catholic Church does recognize the baptist baptism as valid, it being a Christian denominatiion that also uses the same formula of wording.Roman Catholic AnswerTo the best of my knowledge, any baptism which is performed with water that actually runs on the forehead, and uses the words, "I baptise you N in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit (or Holy Ghost) - or the same words in another language; with the intention of doing what the Church does - is considered a valid baptism.
Can a confirmed Episcopalian convert to the Catholic Church without having to be confirmed again?
Yes. While the catholic church recognizes the Baptism as valid it does not recognize the Confirmation as valid, since it requires administration by a priest having received the valid sacrament of holy orders. While the Catholic Church and Episcopal Church are close in tradition and both have seven sacraments, only Baptism is considered as valid.

Are you Catholic if you are just baptized?
Baptism is the rite by which someone becomes a member of the Church. You are therefore Catholic when you are baptized, regardless or who baptizes or where it is performed.
Does the Catholic church consider a previous baptism from another faith as valid if that individual as a child was forced to undergo the baptism under threat of punishment?
Any baptism that is forced upon someone else who is in opposition to the baptism is invalid, as the person's dispensation of will is to not receive the sacrament. Sacraments require that the recipient has the explicit or implicit intention to receive them, and if this is missing, the sacrament is either invalid or its graces are impeded from being transmitted. The exact circumstances of the baptism would have to be reviewed, as children are often not in full possession of the faculty of reason until around 7 or 8 years old, which is why infant baptism has the intention supplied by the godparents. If the baptism was valid (say the child was young and just didn't want to be there, etc.) after the above investigation, the Church would receive it as such. The Catholic Church receives any baptism as valid, no matter who the minister, provided the baptism is performed using the proper form and matter (words and materials). This is because the Church recognizes only one baptism, Her own, given to Her by Christ. Throughout the centuries many groups have split from the Church but have taken the sacrament, retaining the matter and form. Because of this they are performing baptismal rites that join their members to the Church of Christ, the Catholic Church, until such a time that these members can reason and personally choose the heretical or schismatic group they have grown up in. Because of this valid baptism, however, when a person of one of these denominations desires to convert to the Catholic Church they do not need to be baptized again, as they have already been implicitly baptized a Catholic. If there is any doubt in regards to the validity of a baptism, the Church through a priest can administer baptism conditionally to remove all doubt.
