With all the talk of priests in the bible, why do you not call your pastors, ministers, etc. "priests"? (I especially ask this to those who follow sola scriptura).

Thanks and God Bless you!:)

Edited to add:
Oops, I think I posted this in the wrong area somehow. Could a mod please move this to a more appropriate section (I don't want to debate this, I just want to ask it, but not in the PRE forum) Thanks and sorry:sorry:

Me not protestant but go read: Eph 4
Here is the NIV: vs 11-13
"It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, 12to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. "

In my church we talk about this as the "five fold ministry"

(as far as I know the talk of priests are only in the OT and we now live in the NT?)
