Please purge papism from your system
"The Priesthood of All Believers: the privileged freedom of all the baptized [by the Holy Spirit] to stand before God in Christ "without patented human intermediaries" and their calling to be bearers of judgment and grace as "little Christs" [as prophets, priests, and kings] to their neighbors. Pastor and preacher differ from other Christians by function and appointment, not spiritual status. (Later Protestantism has forgotten this perhaps more than any other foundation principle.)" - Elwell, W. A., editor. 1984. Evangelical Dictionary of Theology. Grand Rapids: Baker. pp. 888-890.
