This pretty much sums up my thinking on this. Doesn't make sense that we would need to ask for a 're-application' of his atonement every day.
'Tis a Pentecostal tradition, as I suspected. Traditions are such odd, evolving things... We humans love our traditions, do we not? It makes so much more sense to our human minds to atone for our sins by performing rituals, incantations, and self-punishment.
Better to stick with the Bible, I think.
