One who feels a calling, but never undergoes the rigorous academic training that some pastors do. They preach from simply their own understanding of the Bible and from the spirit, without the added credentials of a degree.

Someone who isn't formally ordained by a accredited or respected religious faith.
If, for example, the US Government has given any branch of that faith a 501(c) status, then they are respected and accredited by the IRS.
Hence Scientologists and the Universal Life Church can qualify.

Someone that may be out of the congregation, just out of school, or a less experienced preacher.

I believe it is a member of the congregation that preaches on occasion, not like a pastor. But I could be wrong.
