Also consider that Lutheranism has at this point become a much more inclusive and less practiced or embodied religious approach, only loosely resembling Christianity in many of its forms.

Reformed theology, meanwhile, has the much more rigorous seminaries and retains one of the most intellectual constituencies amongst traditionalist Christians in the US. It's not at all uncommon for Reformed churches (such as OPC churches) to have several elders with postgraduate degrees in theology from reformed seminaries. It's not my experience that the same is true of Lutherans, or that Lutherans are capable of making direct scriptural arguments to support their positions. A conversation with five median members of each denomination would leave you with zero doubt here.
