No, because there is no human mediator when each man's prayers are directed to God through the mediation of Christ. But a man does play an unbiblical mediatorial role when he stands before the congregation and prays out loud on behalf of everyone as if he is a mouthpiece to God for them.


Instead of one unbiblical human mediator, you substitute a whole congregation of unbiblical human mediators. Human prayer does not in any way cause the Lord to be present in the Supper. The forgiveness of sins in the body and blood of Christ is freely given to them that believe and is not obtained due to any merit, preparations, or prayers on our part.
