Bapto...Luke 16:24, John 13;26, Rev 19:13
Baptizo...numerous references (if you are using KJV, baptizo is translated as baptize[d] and bapto as dip[ped]).
Also, it is important to note that while dipping (bapto) is associated only with the "wetting," such as dipping hands into a bowl, baptizo—in addition to being repetitive—imparts permanent change (such as pickling)!

What source(s) are you using for your usage of Baptizo as ‘repetitive’?
The sources I’ve found list ‘repetitive’ as one usage, but not the sole or exclusive usage. The immersion aspect of it is also noteworthy.
The question remains though... what is ‘baptism’ to God? Is it a ritual act where the ritual is of primary importance, or is the spirit of the act the essential point?
