One page wordpress theme linking.

Ok so I started making a site following the wordpress bootstrap tutorial and got some good stuff from it. I also decided that I wanted to make this particular site a one page site, so I began watching the one page wordpress tutorial but I cant get passed a key part of the tutorial.

The part I am getting hung up on is switching my page.php page name to one-page-site.php. When I do this and add the code

/*
Template Name: One-Page-Theme
*/

to the top of the now one-page-site.php file I am able to see the template "One-Page-Template" in page attributes when editing the home page but when I change my home page to that template and add this code to one-page-site.php

<?php 
                $args = array(
                    'post_type' => 'page',
                    'order' => 'ASC'
                );
                $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );         
            ?>

the pages are still separate. It should also be mentioned that in the tutorial it is suggested that you type "Test!!!" somewhere in one-page-site.php and "Test!!!" should show up on your home page but it doesn't show up when I load the page, it does show up when I type it in a file I have named front-page.php. Any suggestions would be appreciated as usual.
