Being a priest does not mean anything about being an elder; eldership is not priestly in character

Things I Didn't Know as a Complementarian: Women in Ministry part 6 00:57:14 – 00:58:14

Mike draws the sharp distinction: priesthood is about access to God, not about teaching or leading others.

Eldership is not mediating people to God. Priesthood means no mediator; eldership means teaching and leading. These are fundamentally different functions. Therefore being a priest has nothing to do with qualifying for eldership.
