Speculating that the Apostles who previously followed John the Baptist had been baptized by him is no greater a leap than speculating that they might also have been baptized by Jesus.
I share these speculations, but let’s make no mistake, speculations they are.

Why would a follower of John the Baptist need to be rebaptized?
John required repentance, works to prove it, and required those being baptized to believe on Jesus, the very things your church requires.
