The Donatist practice of rebaptizing was particularly abhorrent to the orthodox.

That's the line I found most interesting.

Seems like every time that came up in the first few centuries... all of the Christians knocked it down.

Interesting, also, because the Essenes, and the groups which followed them, practiced daily "rebaptizing". This continues even today in the Mandaean/Sabeaen sects.

There's a messianic pastor in this area that encourages multiple baptisms. If you feel like sin in your life is getting in the way of your relationship with God he encourages another baptism. I'm not sure where I stand on this. Haven't given it a whole lot of thought.

An interesting story from early in our courtship: My mother told Jen "I thought you were called 'Baptists' because you got Baptized every Sunday?"

Didn't know there really were such people. You sure it isn't a poor translation of "bathing" daily?
