I don’t know if you’re aware of this, but nowhere in your argument did you actually prove that all Christians aren’t priests and kings in the sight of God. Except for the lame anti-Trinitarian arguments, you didn’t even make an argument here that disproves “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people” (1 Pet 2:9). You muttered something about the elect obeying, and said all sorts of things, but nothing I thought was in any way interesting or favorable for whatever position it is you are trying to promote. For your education, the Elect are those who were chosen before the foundation of the world without regard for their merits (1 Ti 1:9). They did not choose Christ, Christ chose them, and ordained them for good works, which will abide forever (John 15:16). For it is God who works in them both to will and to do of His good pleasure (Php 2:13).
