Priest, Melchizedek Priesthood
A person who performs religious rites for others and directed to God. Frequently in the scriptures, priests are actually high priests after the order of Melchizedek (Alma 13:2). Those who receive a fulness of God’s glory after the Resurrection become priests and kings in the celestial world.
