ABOUT MILLER AVENUE BAPTIST CHURCH
Welcome to Miller Avenue Baptist Church, an Evangelical* and Reformed Congregation dually aligned with American and Southern Baptists. We are a small congregation, always have been, and always will be. Our focus is on bold proclamation of the word of grace, the Gospel, and discipleship of followers of Jesus. Pastor Philpott thinks of himself as an old time Gospel preacher and Bible teacher. We have a Reformed theology—not rigid or legalistic—but grace oriented. *We claim the original, non-political, Biblical meaning of “Gospel Proclamation”

BELIEFS
What it Means: “Evangelical and Reformed”
We have a reformed theology in that we hold that no one, however righteous they may be, can earn a right relationship with God. We do not believe anyone can be awarded salvation of the basis of anything they do. Perhaps our position, which is shared with tens of millions around the world, is summed up in Romans 8:29-30:
For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.
To explain: God chose us and not the other way around, and this was before He created the universe. Then those chosen, elected, or predestined, were called to Jesus to acknowledge Him as Lord and Messiah. This is referred to in John chapter 3 as the new birth. Then, indwelt by the Holy Spirit of God, we grow up into Christ, desiring to be like Him and live for Him.
