No, but they are close. They all preach.
A reverend wears a collar and can be married. Ususally the Anglican church.
Priests wear collars and cannot be married. Catholics.
Pastors are of all Bible beliveing churches...they wear whatever they want and can be married. Less pious, more real.

A preacher could technically be anyone who proclaims messages from the Bible, but would not necessarily be ordained. A pastor would be the person who acts as "shepherd", so to speak, of a congregation, helping them grow spiritually through the preaching of the Word, but pastors often have other administrative duties as well. Many pastors are ordained (I was ordained last March) but not all of them are--ordination is simply a formal ceremony acknowledging that it is recognized that a person has been called into ministry in some capacity--pastor, teacher, missionary, etc.--but not all pastors would necessarily have gone through an ordination ceremony. It would just depend on the denomination. And priests have typically gone through specific courses of Biblical schooling and have some kind of certification that they have completed such studies and are also ordained. Catholics and Episcopals are two denominations whose pastors are considered priests, but not all priests would take oaths of poverty, celibacy or other forms of self-denial.

ALL baptised J.W'S are PREACHERS. 6.7 MILLION WORLDWIDE IN 235 LANDS.
This is the ONLY way that the scripture at Matthew 24;14 and 28; 19,20 can be fulfilled by us.
however, Jehovah God [ Exodus 6;3] is NOT dependant ON US.
To get his message across, He has the ability to make ' even the stones cry out'.
(Luke 19:40) But in reply he said: “I tell YOU, If these remained silent, the stones would cry out.”
Most other religions of 'Christendom' rely on infant baptism to maintain their numbers. something the early Jews never did.
And lately, their numbers are dwindling drastically.

There is little difference between them so long as they have the true priesthood of God to officiate with authority those ordinances given to man.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has that true authority to act and officiate in God's name on this earth.
Wouldn't you rather be baptized with the true authority of God than not?
Go to lds.org and learn.
