I've seen people use both spellings, which one is the correct way to spell it? or are they both correct?

Both are used. In general it is a UK/US difference but that is not the whole story. If you looked in the Oxford English Dictionary - it would prefer the -ize spelling because it is closer to the Greek root of the word.

Its baptiSed. Just like its:
ColoUr
AluminIum
ThrOuGH
SanitiSe
(The "s" is UK spelling and the "z" US spelling).
Look WE'RE right, the US is wrong! It's ENGLISH not TEXAN! And George II was their rightful sovereign, and they DID turn up late for BOTH world wars. And don't get me started on that waste of tea at Boston, it was disgraceful - perfectly good tea. And they don't play cricket, and they call rugby-with-helmets "football". And....and....
Tsk!

I think it's suppose to be baptised, but then again it doesn't really matter.
