Baptism is in part an initiation into discipleship. John's disciples were baptized by John. This is why Paul made a big deal out of saying he was glad he did not baptize some of the Corinthians because of their sectarianism.
Think about this, if a person repents before the death, burial and resurrection, does he have to repent all over again?
Or if someone already believes in Jesus does he have to believe all over again? Why wouldn't it be valid?
