Jindal says that he first started reading the bible as a Hindu, to rebut Christians.

It seems that he was first saved and baptized as a Southern Baptist, and then moved over to a Catholic denomination, and was baptized again.

His journey indicates someone who takes his faith very seriously.

There seems to be a lot of sincerity and passion in his seeking a relationship with God.

When a Protestant converts to Catholicism the Catholic Church does not baptize them again because they have already been baptized in another Christian church. Catholics recognize Protestants as Christian.

No Catholic denomination would have someone already baptized in a Southern Baptist church "baptized again". Southern Baptists believe in the trinity and do a water baptism in the name of the father, son, and holy spirit, thus it is a valid Christian baptism (unlike Mormon "baptisms" and other churches that do not accept basic Christian doctirnes) The Catholic Church believes only ONE valid baptism may be performed on a person. A second baptism would be meaningless since God accepted the first one.

However, if Jindal was baptized in a Baptist church and later converted to Catholic, he would be eligible to receive the sacraments of Confirmation and Holy Communion.

Catholics do not baptize Christians....they only baptize NON-Christians who have NOT been baptized.
