In reading your posting, I am seeing many things that show as spiritual errors. For the sake of brevity, I will reply to some of them in order to show how this premise you present and label as "one baptism" is not of God.
In other words, I do not deny the Gospel, but your interpretation of the "one baptism" lacks spiritual teaching and understanding of what "oneness" and unity means within the scripture. This is spiritual discernment as taught by The Holy Spirit.
As I have explained in previous postings, your idea of "one baptism" is not "one baptism" in Gods definition. God's definition holds oneness and wholeness, which also supports and works with all the other Divine precepts within the Gospel. Your "one baptism" is in selfishness, meaning "one unto itself", which is separation and excludes Divine precepts within the Gospel. Hence the division you justify is a temporal form of division, that which divides the heart and mind.
Yes, it is true that Unity already exists, for we cannot create it, this is God's domain and power. Yet as you say, we are to acquire it from God, within ourselves, and to do so requires that we understand God's precepts as they are suppose to be understood. Hence the importance to learning from his Spirit, not just the physical book.
Part of acquiring that unity is learning from the Spirit how to perceive his word in a unified way. <a Title=" 1Cor 1:10 - Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind• and in the same judgment. "> 1 Cor 1:10</a>

Soon, I will reply further to your post and the errors in it.
I say this in the name of Jesus Christ
Amen
