You cannot have one Lord, one faith, one baptism when the Church is comprised of individuals with their own theology.

Sure you can. Show me where Scripture states that someone's theology has to be *perfect* to be saved or part of the body of Christ.

And besides, the Catholic church itself allows for plenty of leeway amongst it's adherents.

Teddy Kennedy still got a Catholic funeral.

For one example: the one Lord according to sola scriptura Oneness Pentecostalism is not the same as other sola scriptura interpretations.

Another example would be salvation by grace through faith vs. salvation by election in the sola scriptura Arminianism vs. Calvinism schools.

And "one baptism" varies among various sola scriptura adherents - and for some it can even be more than one baptism.

LOL Isn’t it interesting that even one step away from “believe on the Lord Jesus and you will be saved – and your house” begins to risk error?
