displaying login in magento 1.6

I am figuring out how to enable login.phtml in magento 1.6 only in custom theme, however, it is clear to me that in magento 1.6 login is triggered from persistent not from customer until persistent is switched off. I am not able to display it either in persistent or in customer layout settings. In a built-in or base theme it is working fine but since I am developing a custom theme and now I am stuck on it to work properly. Any help is highly appreciated....
