Chris.
There is no need for a mediator. God has already acted on His Own. He so Loved us that He sent Jesus Christ to die on the Cross as the punishment for our sins. We do not need a mediator, whether it be a priest or a charismatic minister, to bring us to God. The entire purpose in God’s sending Jesus Christ to die for us is that He, God the Son the Son of God is our Mediator to bring us to the Father.
