I have heard much talk from the brethren about becoming like Heavenly Father, becoming like God, becoming as God or as gods, but what do we have that tells us we are not gods now but we have the potential to become gods?

It's not Scripture. It comes from an old couplet
Question: "Don't Mormons believe that God was once a man?"
Hinckley: "I wouldn't say that. There was a little couplet coined, "As man is, God once was. As God is, man may become." Now that's more of a couplet than anything else."
