You can quote a thousand translations that have 'one' in it byt you can't find any greek bibel that has heis or εις in it.
Here is a greek english interlinear. underline the word heis if you can find it. This is the textus receptus. you will notice that they translate the greek word en (not heis, heis isn't even in it) as one.[/SIZE]

why is the absence of 'a' in john 4.24 a big deal but the absence of 'heis' in 1 cor. 6.17 not a big deal? En in greek means in so "he that is joined to the LORD is
in (en) spirit." no greek bible anywhere has heis in 1 cor. 6.17.
It is the Testus Receptus at blueletterbible.org, from which the translations say one spirit. Jerome used it in the 400's AD and told us that it is one spirit.
It is a big deal because the word is also used in the same passage for those who are joined to a harlot, being made one flesh with her by that joining, The one flesh of the prior verses is contrasted to the one Spirit with the conjunction, 'but', and the comparison is that we who are true born again Believers are joined to the LORD, "one Spirit". The Church is one Church because it is one Spirit, one body,persons who are members of Christ, though many persons.
In Adam, we [multiplied Adam being are billions and billions to the power of 'X'] human persons and are all 'one spirit' =one being called Adam [you seem to have also missed the context of the one spirit of Adam that I posted plenteous Scriptures to show the fact of]; and in YHWH =One Being who just is, the BREATH THAT [or Who] BREATHES [very literal translation of Exodus 3:14] or LIFE that LIVES, the three YHWH Persons are all One Spirit.
There is a firstborn in Adam, a Firstborn in Christ, and in YHWH there is a co-equal Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit .
The Word of God put on a New Nature, that of created humanity, in which He is come as Kinsman-Redeemer and soon coming Avenger.
If He had not come as Kinsman, He would not have had the legal authority to ransom His spiritually dead brother's sold Kingdom and marry the spiritually dead brother's barren widow.
You miss the message all round, of redemption through the blood on the true Mercy Seat , which is the YHWH of hosts come in human flesh as the solid gold Mercy Seat on which His human blood was received while it hung on the cross -and the veil is split from that moment for all who are cleansed by the blood and clothed [spiritually, with the Spirit of Christ -and at the redemption of the body with the body made in His New Man image], to enter into the presence of the glory on high.
Born again Believers have dual natures, Adam and Christ; one, a spiritually dead [cut off as son of God] nature; and one, the nature of the New Man, the Israel as opposed to the Adam [Isaiah 49], and the Firstborn in the New Man, our everlasting Father as to that humanity, is the WORD of GOD, the YHWH of hosts, second Person.
We who are born again have to die daily to the old nature that is in us, and live on purpose in the New nature that is a gift to us who have called on the name of the LORD, Jesus Christ, for salvation.
Some people refuse the New Nature, the New Birth, which is the clothing we must be dressed in to enter into the presence of the Holy Father [the joining to Him, one Spirit] -as the parable teaches about the man invited to the wedding feast who did not dress for it, and was cast into the lake of fire.
From Mattthew 22;
"The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
...
Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast [him] into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth".
YHWH [second Person] humbled Himself to descend to walk in the human nature of the New Creation Man to lift us up by His redemption and adoption, to be joined to His New Man nature and to walk in that Spirit, with Him as our 'Firstborn'. The wedding, or the marraige, is to come at the adoption of the body, which will be made in His image. All in Adam can be adopted and 'married', that is, to be made living sons of God by the Word of God in flesh adopting us into His New Man nature and adopting our bodies into His New Man image, also.
.I shall be satisfied when I awake in Thy image'.
