***Random side question: Are there people who believe that you should be baptized as a baby and then baptized again when you come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ?***

Yes, there are some. Generally when someone does this they are demonstrating that they believe in credobaptism and want to express their faith by doing this again even if their parents had them baptized as a child. I had a friend who did this when he decided to leave the Reformed church and join a non-Reformed Baptist church. A person who does this is saying that they don’t accept the infant baptism position and when they grow up they want to be baptized as a believer.

However in Reformed covenantal churches when this child grows up he/she will make a public profession of their faith confirming that they accept God’s covenant promises which have be signified and sealed in their baptism. That’s when they declare that they love the Lord and it’s their heartfelt desire to serve Him according to His Word. Prior to that they are members of the visible community of believers under their parents confession and are not full communicant members.
