Now there's a real helpful response, maybe it's meant to be humorous?
I suggest that the Morgan check the entries on BAPTIZW in the major lexicons.
For the truly courageous, there is Dale's multi-volume lexical work on the
subject: whether or not one agrees with his ultimate theological conclusions
based on that evidence, it catalogues and discusses just about every significant
occurance of the word, and that long before the days of cd-roms!
