Ephesians 4:4-6

Verses 4-6:
.4(for there is) one body and one spirit, according as also you were called in one hope of your calling, .5one Lord, one belief, one baptism, .6one God and Father of all (holy-people), the (One being) upon all and through all and in all.

The truth is that there is:
1.     one body (the one spiritual body of Christ of which all holy-people are limbs/members; refer to Ephesians 1:22 and 23, plus 2:16)
2.     and one spirit (the one holy spirit-life which is the spirit of Christ in all holy-people; refer to Ephesians 2:18),
…according as also you were called (just as, according to how, in comparison to the way that in addition you have already been invited, as verse 1 above)…
3.     in one hope of your calling (hope is what God gives holy-people to expect to come to pass in the future; it is what God hopes, His firm-anticipation concerning a future specific situation or circumstance – within the sphere of action of one hope pertaining to the invitation issued to you and which you accepted; refer to Ephesians 1:18 and 2:7),
4.     one Lord (one Master who is the resurrected Christ Jesus; this word emphasizes and confirms the validity and authenticity of the Christ’s lordship, including dominion and authority, over and relative-to his slaves, plus the respectful submission due to him by his slaves; refer to Ephesians 1:2 and 3:11),
5.     one belief (one faith/trust; belief is the information that God makes known to have confidence-in with assured certainty and surety – belief regarding Christ Jesus our Lord; refer to Ephesians 1:13, 2:8, and 3:12),
6.     one baptism (one baptism for God’s people today which is to be immersed or surrounded within holy spirit; it is spiritual-water and all holy-people have been washed clean permanently in holy spirit-life),
7.     one God and Father of all holy-people (only one – not many entities such as idols or persons of the idolatrous 3-in-1 trinity abomination – there is ONE God Who is also the Father of all holy-people because we have received the spirit of Christ in us, and God is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ),
o   specifically God our Father is the One Who is presently and actively continuing to be
o   upon all (on, upon, over, higher up than all holy-people including the Lord Jesus Christ – not that God controls all, but He is above it all, His authority is superior, and He will continue according to what He says no matter what others may do to try to stop Him)
o   and through all (through all holy-people including the Lord Jesus Christ – God works by means/way of all of His sons to reach the accomplishment of His intention)
o   and in all (within all holy-people including the Lord Jesus Christ because we all have the same holy spirit-life).
