If you look at the verses cited, they don't say anything (to me) about becoming God.
"one with Him in spirit..." We are one in spirit, as well. Does that mean I am becoming you and you are becoming me? It's really too hopeful of a reading, and doesn't stand up to any critical examination.

Yes and I'm becoming the Queen Mary just not in the fullness of the Queen Mary-head (or hood). I also swim occasionally in the Pacific Ocean. So I am like the Queen Mary. Therefore I am the Queen Mary! Just NOT in the Queen Mary-hood. That is reserved for the Queen Mary alone. (But I'm the Queen Mary!)
I admit that I am not made of metal, and not painted black with red trim. That alone belongs to the Queen Mary. And I don't have 4 large funnels, and four large propellers. But I do participate in certain aspects of the Queen Mary, and thus have the full assurance that I'm becoming more and more like the Queen Mary, day by day.
So if I swim, I am like the Queen Mary, and thus I'm becoming the Queen Mary. Just not in the fullness of the Queen Mary. No - I won't go there. That would be ridiculous. (But I'm the Queen Mary!)
