To become one with God is to abide in the attitude Jesus had: John 5:19 "The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise." However, to become God would suggest an attitude that Lucifer took, which was: "who needs God" or "hath God said"? To become God would imply an independence from God whereas to become one with God implies an eternal dependence upon him. Peace be with you.
