ROTF! So true. My daughter went to a Baptist camp every year in Oklahoma. She used to tell me the very same thing. They got born again over and over because it wore off during the school year.

LOL - I've seen that so many times. I wish that pastors and youth leaders would do a better job of explaining what being "saved" really is so a mockery is not made of it.

To many, they get saved, start living like a religious zealot for a couple of months and then gradually drift back to where they were. The process usually takes about 6 to 8 months.

I have been an Evangelical Christian for almost 35 years, and I have seen very little of born again repeats. Indeed, I don't think I can recall more than 2 during that time.
