How are they logging back in? The point of OAuth and SSO is that your
users don't need to create a login (username/password pair) with your
site. They login with Twitter EVERY time they login. The important
difference between OAuth/OpenID/SSO and your typical "register, verify
and login" model is that the user's login credentials are outsourced
to a 3rd party (like Twitter) along with the entire workflow that goes
along with managing authentication (email verification, lost
passwords, etc.)

Rather than your user model looking like: username/password/email/
[profile data] it looks like twitter_id/[profile data]

I hope that helps.
