From memory I can recall the baptism of the book & the people, a sin offering baptism, and I know there is at least one other.
To be fair, the Greek word is 'Baptismos' which is a noun, not a verb. That doesn't mean it is not related to 'Baptizo' (which is a verb) but I thought I should make that clarification.
