Being CHristened is just when you receive the cross on your forehead with water! But baptism is when you get immersed in water and get baptised with the Holy Spirit!

The word "Christened" comes from old England and is usually used in Anglican and Episcopal churches. It means "to bring to Christ" Unlike Baptism, Christening refers to infants rather than both infants and adults.
Middle English baptisme, from Old French, from Late Latin baptismus, from Greek baptismos, from baptizein,
Baptism is mentioned in several ways in the Bible. There is the baptism of repentance, the baptism of fire, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the baptism of Moses, baptism for the dead, baptism of suffering, water baptism, etc. Ephesians 4:4-6 says there is one baptism. This one baptism (water immersion in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins) is plainly shown in examples throughout the New Testament where believers were converted. a ceremonial immersion in water, or application of water, as an initiatory rite or sacrament of the Christian church.
