The words “baptised” and “baptized” mean the same thing. Both words talk about a special water ceremony often done in churches. The difference is about how English is used in different places.
Long ago, in England, people started using the word “baptised.” English spread to other places, and people in America started using “baptized.” So, “baptised” is used in British English, and “baptized” is used in American English.
Use “baptised” if you are writing for people in the UK or other places that use British English. Use “baptized” if you are writing for people in the USA or other places that use American English.
To remember which one to use, think about where your readers are from:
In short, use “baptised” for British English and “baptized” for American English. Both words mean the same ceremony with water.
