4 is incorrect.
6 would be correct if that semicolon were a colon, as in 7.
The others are fine.
After the colon in 7, yes, you should have a capital O on "one" because you are following the colon with a complete sentence. If the words/phrases following a colon do not make a complete sentence, then you don't need the capital letter there.
