well You can get them answered here too:
Pastor is one of the spiritual gifts in the Bible and He is over a church or flock of christians.
Priest is an old testament priest that offered sacrafices to God in the Old Testament. There are no priests in the New Testament Gifts for the Church.. The catholic church calls their pastors, priests, but it is just what they do.
Reverend is a man made title for revered one or someone that has studied and gotten a religious degree. (not from the bible)
Minister is the word for what a Pastor does. He ministers to the people the Word of God, or prays for them or does counciling with them (all of this would be ministering to them) So a Pastor ends up being called a minister of the Gospel ..

They are all pretty much the same, just different religions give their leaders different titles. I do know that a pastor is the head of an actual church, a minister may serve in many different capacities, a priest is usually associated with the catholic church, many Baptist churches refer to their leaders as "reverend" and a preacher is simply anyone who preaches the gospel.

Denominations use different words. Some say pastor others say priest. Sometimes it's what the particular person wants to be called. Sometimes it's a matter of education. At my Methodist church they want to be called pastor or by their first name. There's a church 20 minutes away where one pastor wants to be called a pastor and the other one wants to be called reverend. The church 20 minutes away is the same denomination as my church. The church isn't more conservative or liberal than mine either. I don't think protestant churches use the word priest, though. I don't think I've ever heard a catholic priest be called a pastor.

Each Christian sect has their own word for their spiritual leader that preaches to them. Some of them also differ in their rights and abilities. For example, some of them can marry, others can not. Some can be women, some can not. All depends on the dogma of that specific branch of religion.

Nothing. Different ways of describing the leader of a Protestant church.
