Which of the following is NOT listed among the rights of an ordained minister?

• A. conduct revivals
• B. preach
• C. defend the gospel
• D. serve as pastor

Answer: (A)

The concept here is what rights are typically granted to someone who is ordained. An ordained minister is expected to be able to preach the gospel and to serve as a pastor, which are core responsibilities tied to church leadership and ministry. Defending the gospel—standing for sound doctrine and addressing errors—is also a fundamental ministerial right, since safeguarding the faith is central to pastoral authority. Conducting revivals, however, is not listed as a guaranteed right of ordination in this framework; revivals are special outreach events that churches may organize through evangelists or approved programs, rather than an automatic entitlement of every ordained minister. So the statement about conducting revivals isn’t included as a right of an ordained minister, making it the correct choice.
