There is something I really liked when i was looking at the methodist church and entering their ministry. They do not rebaptize (generally speaking) They have instead a service that is derived from the baptismal service. It is a service where at the point of baptism, they put their hand into the water and say remember the convenant of your baptism. It is something I would adapt if I was a pastor. I would have to look at the book of doctrine again (if I can find it) to get more specifics, but they use this service when someone wants to be rebaptized or rededicate their life/walk with Christ.
Being rebaptized to me to soothe the mind, is similar to this service of the methodist. But I would not hesitate to rebaptize someone.
I always though refer people to go and talk to their pastors first of all things.
