Bahá'Ãs don't really use the word "baptism". In Christianity, baptism is related to a person becoming a Christian. Basically, if a person believes that Bahá'u'lláh is who he claims to be (a Messenger sent by God, to guide us), and does an effort to fulfill the Bahá'à laws, he can be considered a believer, i.e., a member of the Bahá'à community.
Judaism doesn't have baptism, that is a strictly Christian ceremony.

The baptism of water and spirit in Christian theology symbolizes spiritual cleansing and rebirth. Water baptism represents the washing away of sin and the initiation into the Christian faith, while baptism of the spirit signifies the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and empowerment for a life of faith and service. Together, these two forms of baptism are seen as essential steps in a believer's journey of salvation and spiritual growth.
The practice of sprinkling baptism originated from the early Christian church as a way to symbolize spiritual cleansing and initiation into the faith.

In Water baptism, just water is used, in spiritual baptism, nothing is used, just a commitment and belief of you in God. Water baptism symbolizes that commitment (some people think that it is useful to have the Word of God (Bible) present as well)
