Was St. Patrick a Baptist preacher? W.A. Criswell thought so. See here for full page transcript of the sermon. The first link has the audio.
Former Roman Catholic priest Richard Bennett thinks similarly as well. Last year Bennett was interviewed on this subject by Chris Arnzen on his program Iron Sharpens Iron. (The preceding link is directly to the mp3 file.)
Richard Bennett also has similar material on his own site, Berean Beacon. Here is a video that Berean Beacon produced on “The Real St. Patrick.”
“We have strong reasons for regarding St. Patrick as a Baptist missionary, and beyond contradiction his baptism was immersion.”
