I'm not doubting my salvation, what prompted this was a post where Luther was basically saying to the devil "Yes, but I have been baptized." in response to his accusations.

I think I've come to a paedo understanding of baptism, but I'd be likely, under the above circumstances, to say "Yes, but Jesus died on the Cross..." or "Yes, but Jesus lived the life I should have lived..."

Not saying for a second that the other paedos don't believe the above, I've learned a lot of that from them. I just don't understand the Luther quote. It sounds like something a Catholic would say.
