Ki Savo

Why does a person bringing Bikurim tell the Kohen (Devarim 26,3) "I came today to Hashem YOUR God? He should say "I came today to Hashem MY God"! This is even worse than what the Rasha from the Pesach Haggada does! That Rasha only says that Hashem only commanded you, not me. The person bringing Bikkurim basically sounds, by the logic we use there, to be saying that Hashem is the Kohen's God and not his own God (Chas Veshalom)!
