1 cor 12

—just as you were called to one hope, at your calling— (everyone doesn’t get to go to their own idealized eternal reality; there is one perfect hope for all who believe)
This hope will not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
one Lord (Only one master)
yet for us there is one God, the Father. All things are from him, and we exist for him. And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ. All things are through him, and we exist through him.
one faith (One set of right doctrines— “In essentials unity; in doubtful matters, liberty; in all things charity.”)
one baptism (Into whom were you baptised? — re-baptism?)
one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all. (vs. other gods)
