Different religions have different beliefs on baptism. Basically ours believes that a child is covered by god to get into heaven untill he/she is of age. At that time they are confirmed and their destiny is no longer in god's hands but there own. Like I said there are plenty of different beliefs out there.

In some religions it is a ritual done to cleanse, initiate, or acknowledge the recipient of the act into Christianity. Different religions accomplish this in different ways and at different stages of life. Much of baptism is attributed to the apostle known as John the Baptist, for his having brought many followers into Christianity through this ritual.

The bible may be a book of God, but we are talking about the part of it regarding baptism, through the focal point of the Holy Trinity being accepted as one, i.e.; the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit being derived from one, that being God.
(Acts 19:6-7 ESV)
This should be very worrying to the followers. According to exorcisms, people possessed by the devil speak in tongues. Satan has been know to toss out prophecies too.
Now I did not take time to check the time frame but I suspect this second baptism came during the time that Paul was lobbying the heads of the religions who controlled the courts of the land to make Jesus not just a messenger or a Saint but to make him a God which they finally agreed to after months of Paul lobbying.

"When you wash dirty hands, the results are immediately visible. But turning from sins (repentance) happens inside with a cleansing that isn't seen right away. John used a symbolic action that people could see; baptism. The Jews used baptism to initiate converts. so John's audience was familiar with the rite. Here, baptism was used as a sign of repentance and forgiveness. Turning from sins implies a change in behavior, turning from sin toward God." Reference Matthew 3:6 Life Application Study Bible, NLV
