Rev. 1:6, "[Christ] Has made us kings and priests unto God and His Father."

It is an irrefutable fact according to Reformed Theology the Earth is now within the figurative Millennial Reign of Christ. Are Reformed Believers today thereby functioning as Kings and Priests?

Or, will that be happening at another time which we can anticipate according to further Scripture or Doctrine?

a soul who's in Him can pray for all His Souls.

calvin was correct about one thing —- the utter depravity of the carnal self that has afflicted man since adam’s sin.

the self has no pity and does not care and cannot hear Him or pray.

Corrupted hearts still have an image of their Creator which is Biblically identified as Free Will. Try to remember the Free Will capacity in the Lost is only for the purpose of making a decision to submit to God's Command for faith in Christ unto repentance, and does not involve any works unto changing one's self.

Bless your concerns for honesty. Christ will accept your free will decision to submit to Him.

Christ does not accept any who boast in their "free will decisions". My Lord made me His slave, and I will eternally praise Him for that.
