This as opposed to some Satainically power Uberbeing such as Damion from The Omen movie series or Nicholai Carpathia from the Left Behind books.

So we can't dismiss LCMS and WELS as just the SDA wing of Lutheranism. |

Exactly. It is the office held by the Pope, and the authority that it assumes; an authority that is only found in Scripture, not in the office of men.

Keep in mind also that the 'Antichrist' comes from within the Church.
