I am going to ponder out loud here. It seems to me that there are three types of Gods, if you will:

1) True Gods (IE. God the Father, Jesus Christ, Holy Ghost). These are eternal and perfect in nature, power, knowledge, action and purpose. (some may understand God honestly but differently)

2) Posers or false gods or false christs who may or may not exist and who do not have the truth but who have an agenda to distort the truth or lead followers aways from the truth. This may include idols or materialism or even in some ways of looking at it....arm of the flesh. (satan is the author and influencer of all to deceive and corrupt the children of men and the designs of God)

3) Children of God, who have great potential who are literally the offspring of God but who are human and flawed and need help to attain perfection thru the sacrifice of a Savior and a loving and perfect Father. These include all the human family. Those who obey the eternal commandments and laws that lead to perfection, will be given all the Father has and become joint heirs with Christ. But, these children cannot obtain this glory by themselves but must be given these blessings thru the combination of Atonement, covenant, and obedience.

The way I see it, I can become a god or a spiritual adult. But I am not perfect as the Father is and can only become perfect because of help or grace. The only thing I really know about become this type of god is that eternal progression becomes available. The D&C says they are called gods "...because they go on".
