Context of Acts 19:5
3And he asked, “Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into John’s baptism.” 4Paul said, “John performed a baptism of repentance, continually telling the people to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, [to confidently accept and joyfully believe] in Jesus [the Messiah and Savior].” After hearing this, they were baptized [again, this time] in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6And when Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking in [unknown] tongues (languages) and prophesying. 7There were about twelve men in all.

Commentaries on Acts 19:5
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 5When they heard this, etc. - As there is no evidence in the New Testament of persons being rebaptized, unless this be one, many criticisms have been hazarded to prove that these persons were not rebaptized. I see no need of this.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 5When they heard this - When they heard what Paul had said respecting the nature of John‘s baptism.
