One might as well confess to a priest and get absolution. It's the same type of "let's wipe the slate clean and start over" thing.

This is bad?

No, not at all. For a people who reject the idea of priests and confession, the Baptismal moment is the seminal moment in their faith journey. To feel the need to be re-newed by repeating the ritual when the faith has been lagging and needs to be re-committed to seems only logical.

I, too, was once under the impression that all Baptists got baptised frequently. Not every week, but maybe once a year.
