Um, me.

Who taught you that God "was a “man” on another planet who “became” God after going through a mortal test on an earth like ours?".

Is that something that the LDS Church taught you?

How did you come to that opinion?

Scripture? Tradition? A burning busom? A Doctrinal Book published by Deseret Book Company? Joseph Smith? Brigham Young? Milton Hunter?

Is there any other church on the face of the earth other than the LDS Church that believes that?

“Is that something that the LDS Church taught you?”

I thought we went through this already? It is not an official doctrine of the LDS Church. Given what I understand - flawed as you may view it - of the purpose of life, the nature of God, etc., it tends to make sense.

But, since it’s not a doctrine of the LDS Church, and has no significant scriptural backing, it’s pointless to argue it with you.

“Is there any other church on the face of the earth other than the LDS Church that believes that?”

Not that I’m aware of; but then, the LDS Church is unique in many ways. Still, it bears repeating that the LDS Church does not officially recognize the principle you describe as doctrine.

The Holy Ghost testified of the truthfulness the first time I read it. He never lies to me. Men do lie to me. Are you a man?

The church did indeed introduce me to the concept,but the Holy Ghost is my teacher here.

Direct revelation is not opinion, unless you would say that it is your opinion that Jesus is the Christ. I however would go further than that.

the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy direct revelation taught me, not just some feeling or burning. This is the same method by which Peter knew Jesus was the Christ, this is the cornerstone of the church of Jesus Christ.

There was, but it fell into apostasy.
