Any one whom God has called to preach the gospel (salvation by grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary) is a preacher/minister. A preacher/minister who has accepted a full/part time position as the spiritual leader of a church is a pastor. All pastors are preachers/ministers, but not all preachers/ministers are pastors.
