Oh, and one more thing.  Although I think there are many saved people in
the Lutheran church I would expect that the vast majority are simply
lost.  I believe what Paul was talking about may have included but not
have been limited to particular denominations.  
Just another thought - the Lutheran church is, I believe, a far cry from
what Martin Luther instigated.  
"Here I stand, I can not do otherwise.  So help me God.  Amen"!
If you haven't, read 'Here I Stand".  Great book.

Dale,
   I think you do well to include vs. 6.  I have been preaching through 
Titus and Paul keeps referring to 'sound/healthy doctrine' that is the 
basis for all things.  1 Tim. 4 is certainly a passage for today.  The 
Evange. Lutheran Church of America just came out with a report to open 
the way for those practicing homosexuality to be ordained and 
'unionized'.  Would you consider this a 'falling away' because of 
'paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons' -  i.e. 
those who are still (for whatever reason) claiming the name of Christ 
and yet are reviling Christ and His Gospel?  I think I would.

Peace,
Steve

PS - that's 8
