I find it interesting that the writer (and the source he quotes) have obfuscated what Peter wrote:

"...The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us...".

Nothing Peter wrote before or after this alters the force of this declaration. It explicates, but doesn't alter. And through his explication he re-enforces his declaration: that baptism's efficacy is spiritual in nature, not in the realm of the flesh.

This agrees with Paul's statement that baptism performs a circumcision of the heart (Col 2:11-12).
