From one of many online dictionaries......... baptism Show phonetics noun [C or U] a Christian ceremony in which a person has water poured on their head, or is covered briefly in water, in order to show that they have become a member of the Christian Church: christening Show phonetics noun [C] a Christian ceremony at which a baby is given a name and made a member of the Christian Church: In actual usage, I rather think it's a matter of personal choice as to which word one uses.......
