From the article:

Just last month, Ezekiel Stoddard, 11, of Temple Hills, Md., was ordained as a minister in his family's independent Pentecostal church,(emphasis mine) where his parents are also pastors.

Most churches in the Pentecostal Movement view homosexuality as a sin. They tend to oppose same-sex marriages, and they do not allow homosexual pastors. Some pentecostal churches also deny membership to homosexuals. They take the perspective that the homosexual can be delivered from their homosexuality.*

Many Christian fundamentalists, other evangelicals, and other religious conservatives strongly believe that both homosexuality and transsexuality are "lifestyles" that are chosen by the individual. Some believe that dysfunctional family dynamics and/or traumatic childhood experiences may be contributing factors to their decision to become gay or transgender. **

So what you're faced with is that the boy is likely going grow up to be an effective preacher against what we hold to be true about ourselves.

The child has no life experience to put context to his preaching, so he can quote scripture, but cannot explain to a grieving parent or a depressed senior citizen or a drug addict or a girl who cuts how things will be better other than to say, 'believe,' rather than 'belive...this is how I got through my crisis.' It says somewhere that you shouldn't be quick to lay hands on (ordain) quickly. It may be novel now, but the novelty will eventually wear off, and you might be left with one more well-meaning soul who just doesn't get who we are.
