An exhorter serving as pastor may officiate weddings, provided he meets the civil laws.

• A. baptisms
• B. weddings
• C. funerals
• D. ordinations

Answer: (B)

The ability to legally perform a wedding hinges on civil authority. When a church member serves as pastor, the act of solemnizing a marriage is still an event that must be recognized by civil law—requiring things like a valid marriage license, proper registration, and compliance with state regulations. If an exhorter who is serving as pastor has met those civil requirements, he may legally officiate weddings. That specific condition—matching civil law requirements—is what makes weddings the correct choice here.

Baptisms, funerals, and ordinations operate under church procedures and rites rather than primarily under civil law. While a pastor or exhorter may perform baptisms or lead funerals, and the church may have its own ordination process, the scenario described centers on the civil authorization needed to marry, which is why this option fits the stated condition best.
