>>and If any would tell me the differences between them

Well, there are several categorizations of the different denominations.

Here is my best quick, unverified guess:

There are the "classical protestanism" denominations: Lutheran, Presbyterian, Weslyian, Anglicans, Baptists (who inaccurately claim to arise from an earlier movement)

These groups tend to echo certains aspects of the Catholic faith, but with the insertion of the theology of their founder(s). Most left what was known as Christianity around 500 years ago.

Then you have your "fundamentalist movement": Pentacostals, Evangelical Fundamentalists, non-denominational, bible-believing.

The oldest of these groups split from classic protestant churches about 200 years ago. Many of the "bible believing, non-denominational" churches are very young and while borrowing an incomplete Catholic bible and theolgoy, have largely been founded by independant people who form their own system of theology. To a large extent, they reject much of Catholic theology.

There are other groups (Orthodox, schismatic), but I don't have time to go further into detail.

Iam afraid that you are not aware what real “classical” or orthodox Lutheran beliefs are .

More than likly its not your fault, because lutheran synods that are not really Lutheran at all in their bible beliefs ;Because they hold to higher critical views about Gods word.

They are more in the news do to the agendas or controversy
they cause by their hedrodox views .
