Protestantism, by virtue of its general decentralization and its more liberal disposition in regards theological disputes, has been accused of having so many denominations as to be beyond count. The truth of the matter, however, is that there is one meaningful distinction that divides Protestant churches in a way that greatly influences the way they move forward in reforming the Universal Church.
This is a really nice breakdown. So often Protestants are all lumped up together. No thanks to more modern mixing from the restorationists. Do you have personal ideas of which inter-denominations best represent the Anglican, Lutheran, and Presbyterian descendants? I feel like OPC for the Pres, Lutheran would probably be Wisconsin (Missouri is showing some undesirableness), and certain Continuing Anglican groups.
I would not even consider the Anabaptists Protestant, because their rejection of two-kingdoms ecclesiology and political theology put them closer to popery in that respect. This difference (and affinity to Romish theology) was observed by the Protestant divines.
