A priest was a Jewish temple worker with various duties, chief among which was to offer up animal sacrifices on behalf of the repentant. There is not one instance in the New Testament of a Christian leader--apostle or disciple--working as or being called a priest; since Christ's self-sacrifice became sufficient for binding man back to God for those who accept His gift of savlation. Assuming the role of a priest outside of Judaism is blasphemous rationalization, contrary to Holy Writ. -Dr.T

Another Answer:

The Bible defines the role of the priest in Malachi. God's true disciples now called the firstfruits, will become Kings and Priest in the Millennium - teaching our fellow humans to follow His Law now written upon their hearts. In the interim, in God's small Church, there are those who will be teachers, bishops, elders, etc. as Paul explained.

Revelation 5:10New King James Version (NKJV)

10 And have made us kings and priests to our God;

And we shall reign on the earth."

Malachi 2:7New King James Version (NKJV)

7 "For the lips of a priest should keep knowledge,

And people should seek the law from his mouth;

For he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts.
