I have no problem with the analogy of Christianity as one hall with different rooms.
The apostle Paul likens the church to a human body with different members. A finger would look different from a liver and also function differently. But this difference does not matter if the different body parts together make up one human body.
One thing we need to remember: when Paul talks about oneness, he is talking about unity, not uniformity.
If the rooms of an apartment could talk, I agree it would be a problem if the living room claimed it was more important than the bedroom and the kitchen started arguing with the study-room.
