The sacrament of Baptism is but once to be administered unto any person.
Take that, all you Anabaptists!
Again, if baptism is (rightly) understood as a sign and seal of God's grace in salvation, if it points not to our belief but to his promises and his faithfulness, to the regeneration and justification that the Spirit accomplishes and does not need to repeat, then it of course can be administered only once. God does not go back on his word. He is a "once for all" God.
The sacrament of remembrance and renewal is the Supper, which we will take up next after a week-long break while I attend to other matters. May the Lord bless you and keep you over the next several days.
Next: Introduction to the Lord's Supper.
