Yes, I believe That God was once a man and before time itself was started by him he “Became” God.How did he become a "man" before time began?
Was he a "man" on another planet who "became" God after going through a mortal test on an earth like ours?
Gosh I think we may be moving towards some clarity here.
“How did he become a “man” before time began?”
We don’t know; we haven’t been told that. Frankly, such speculation is kinda pointless when there’s plenty I still need to learn about the little stuff, like, oh, faith. For what it’s worth, I think the true nature of the concepts of “time” and “eternity” are a bit beyond mortal man’s grasp.
“Was he a “man” on another planet who “became” God after going through a mortal test on an earth like ours?”
That is not LDS doctrine. It is an opinion held by many Mormons, due to several statements by past leaders. LDS doctrine neither confirms nor denies the idea Again, it’s not necessary for our salvation.

Why logically… you know where this goes and it’s a dead end. God does not say, but you can logic yourself in to an
infinite regression trap if you want, but I tired of playing with regression games when I was 14. Been there, done that, got he Tshirt. You got anything else? ‘cause this is getting B O R I N G. You trying to set “Traps” that can be seen a mile away, me pointing them out and walking up and stealing the cheese anyway… B O R I N G

Yawn Have you ever studied the
multiverse theory?
Now that’s infinite regression with something interesting about it.
Lets talk multiverse for a moment, (I hope you read the link, or already know waht the multiverse is) I have a theory that each universe is created by a God as he attains “God hood” and that each universe is a mathematical offset from the reality of his God, thus the Multiverse would look like a multidimensional tree with branches going in different dimensions and branches can overlap (being in different dimensions) with out obstructing each other this infinite possibility multiverse would allow for Gods to continue being created at an ever accelerating rate, yet theoretically never run out of dimensions and offsets for new Gods to create universes in.
You did want to know how Gods could endlessly replicate, and still be the “Creator", "God" and the "Lord of all" etc right?
I was a little bit of a math nut when I was 14 and had a formula for most of this worked out, then I lost interest, kind of like I am with this conversation.
You think you are being clever, trying to tie me into knots with Recursion, I think you are trying real hard to run into a corner and suffocate yourself.
