Water Baptism is a one time experience. As PhilJones has stated, you can never be unborn, so to attempted rebirth would do violence to the Word of God.There remaineth no more sacrifice. It is already accomplished. The fact is that faith needs to be put in the initial work of God. If you can't put faith in the initial work, I seriously doubt that a "second" baptism will do any good.
Again, the crossing of the red sea (baptism unto Moses) was not something that was done multiple times. The earth was only baptized one time (in the flood), with God promising not to do it again with water. Fire was the next baptism the earth would be promised.

So you believe when I was rebaptised I "did violence to the Word of God"?
Where do you get this idea from? I know God lead me to get rebaptised I do not doubt that at all. I know my expereince and can only speak for me. I don't see how my rebaptism at an age when I finaly got the meaning and seriousness of what baptism meant did any harm to God's word.
If you truely believe it doesn't matter if the person being baptized understands what they are doing or not, then how can you not agree with infant baptism? I think it truely matters that the person being baptised knows the seriousness of what it is about.
