Best Answer

Common priesthood probably refers to the priesthood of all believers and is conferred at baptism. Each individual Christian is baptized as a priest, prophet, and king, and, as a priest, is empowered to offer sacrifice to God. This is not the same as the ministerial priesthood, which offers the one sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, but is the common priesthood of all baptized Christians who offer the sacrifice of their lives to be crucified with Jesus, as they deny themselves to follow him.
