In this video, Michael Naaktgeboren teachers from the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith, also known as the Second London Baptist Confession, chapter 8, Christ Our Mediator, paragraphs eight and nine. The focus of these paragraphs is on how Christ's work as a mediator is essentially his and cannot be delegated to other office holders, something the Catholic Church and Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints get wrong. Christ alone functions as the New Covenant Prophet, Priest, and King.

9._____ This office of mediator between God and man is proper only to Christ, who is the prophet, priest, and king of the church of God; and may not be either in whole, or any part thereof, transferred from him to any other.
( 1 Timothy 2:5 )

10.____ This number and order of offices is necessary; for in respect of our ignorance, we stand in need of his prophetical office; and in respect of our alienation from God, and imperfection of the best of our services, we need his priestly office to reconcile us and present us acceptable unto God; and in respect to our averseness and utter inability to return to God, and for our rescue and security from our spiritual adversaries, we need his kingly office to convince, subdue, draw, uphold, deliver, and preserve us to his heavenly kingdom.
( John 1:18; Colossians 1:21; Galatians 5:17; John 16:8; Psalms 110:3; Luke 1:74, 75 )
