So then, would you attend a Lutheran service where they have all the True Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, kneeling, icons, crucifixes, etc?

The Real Presence in the Lutheran church is not the same as the eucharist in the Roman Catholic church.

Many Lutheran churches do not have crucifixes. Some do.

I could probably worship in a Lutheran church since they are a Reformational Christian denomination which believes Christ is Lord, Savior and King. The Lutheran church denies the pope is infallible nor is he the head of the church on earth; does not elevate Mary to co-Redeemer status nor does it teach that Mary was immaculately conceived and bodily ascended into heaven; and it does not believe its pastors are "another Christ." It does, however, preach that men are saved by God's grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone for God's glory alone, according to the inerrant word of God.

Would you worship in a Lutheran church? Why or why not?
