Priests are already being prepared

As part of the general priesthood of all believers, who are all called to sacrifices and praise. Apart from this pastors are never called priests, a term only used for Jewish or pagan priests in formal distinction from the office of bishop/elder.

"Priest," the English word, comes from the Greek word for "elder". The dictionary will attest to that.

"Pastor" is a completely different word, and a different concept.
