There should be no distinction, the minister of the gospel is to do both whilst the lay person is to do neither.
In your opinion ... where is the line between one to one witnessing to unbelievers and preaching? If there is a group of three that a lay person is witnessing to ... is that preaching?

The duty of a theologian is, not to please the ear with empty sounds, but to confirm the conscience by teaching things which are true, certain and profitable.
John Calvin, 1559
