***Again, would you believe it if Peter himself told you???***
Here is my statement which you said contradicts scripture...
"It is not the water that is important but the clear conscience before God that comes as a result of turning from sin and placing the whole weight of ones trust one Jesus and his death on our behalf."
Here are the very words of Peter...
"Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body (i.e. water) but as an appeal to God for a good conscience (i.e. repentance from sin), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,"
-Peter
***When I was baptized and initiated into the life of the Church, same as everyone who is baptized.****
What is the proof in your life that you were actually spiritually reborn? What is the evidence?
Evidence? Perhaps in the am, time for bed.
First off, thats not what St. Peter says in my Bible - get yourself the Haydock Bible http://www.catholictreasures.com/cartdescrip/11050.html and hopefully you will no longer mis-interpret scripture.

The proof is in Christ's command. Jesus calls Baptism, "being born again of water and the Holy Ghost." The evidence would be my baptismal certificate.
