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.

Wow.. you know, I've head the term "holier than thou" used my entire life, but until now, I never really had a chance to witness it. I keep waiting for "oh yeah, well my bible has bigger typeface than your bible! Nyah, nyah!".

This should not be news to you if you are truly on the front lines of spreading the gospel. Many Christian writers have covered the subject such as Hank Hannagraaf in "Christianity in Crisis".
Also, this means you've never been to a Church of God church as being saved multiple times is not discouraged.
