Like many other Christian denominations (specifically the Orthodox and Eastern Catholic branches of Christianity), Mormons do believe in "theosis," the idea that man can progress to become more like God. Historically, this concept was had among the earliest Christians.
Mormons believe in the Bible, which teaches: "To him that overcometh will I [Christ] grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne." So we believe that we can become like God through the power of Christ, but not that we will ever be greater than God. We will always worship God the Father and Christ the Son. To use traditional Christian terminology (and not terminology that only Mormons understand), it would probably be more accurate to say that Mormons believe they can become angels in the next life (although that phrasing doesn't exactly capture Mormon belief either, and is explicitly inaccurate if one uses the Mormon definition of "angel"). It is not true that Mormons believe men and women can progress to become equal to God. We will always worship God.
Mormons believe that God the Father created all things, so He created both Jesus (God the Son), Lucifer (Satan), and all mankind. Jesus and Lucifer are "brothers" in the sense that God the Father created both of them. It doesn't imply any special affinity or friendship between Jesus and Lucifer. Obviously, they are on opposite sides of the whole good/evil divide.

Planet? What makes you think you get a planet? The Planets are God's. The heavens, they are many, and they cannot be numbered unto man; but they are numbered unto me, for they are mine.
Read the Bible we may get a white stone.
Revelation 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
Then the white stone mentioned in Revelation 2:17, will become a Urim and Thummim to each individual who receives one, whereby things pertaining to a higher order of kingdoms will be made known;

Living righteously and following the ordinances that you get when you are married to the temple.
Then you will become a God or Goddesses of your own world! God had to go through the same thing we are going through in order for him to become the great God that he is.

Because we are born to our heavenly parents as their literal spirit children we have the same exact divine potential as they do. If you do what is necc to achieve this highest degree of glory, or heaven, then you will earn the reward of continual progression and learning. You will have the opportunity to learn all the knowledge of our parents. You will have the ability to achieve the fullest potential of your born divinity. You and your spouse will have the ability to continue on with your own plan of salvations and participate in having an eternal family, which allows you to also participate in all the blessings of that divine nature.
You need to prove that you are worthy and able to handle such an awesome and incredible responsibility and power. We proved our worth and eagerness to start this plan in the preexistance before we were born onto this earth and we chose to follow this plan then, as well.
Why do people thumbs down answers that are just trying to answer the question??? Just because you dont agree with the belief doesnt mean it deserves a thumbs down. What a petty reason to give thumbs down. All I did was try to answer the question.
