Oh, yea.  I have heard of those kind of congregations.  In other
congregations one becomes a Christian and then moves on, just as a
student goes from first grade in school to second to third and etc.
But in those congregations, one becomes a Christian, then makes sure he
has become a Christian, and then makes double sure that he has become a
Christian, just as a school student would repeat the first grade again
and again and again.  So they assume that other congregations are also
full of people stuck in the first grade, therefore,  they spend their
lives trying to  turn Christians into Christians again and again and
again.

When the race should be half over, they are still piddling around at
the start line.
