Theology aside, can BAPTIZW/BAPTISMA be used/understood as anything other
than immerse/dip? In other words, can it be understood as simple
application of water (perhaps by sprinkling or pouring) without regard to
mode/manner?

[Moderator's note:  Indeed, let's keep the discussion focused strictly on the meaning 
of the Greek verb.]
