Eternal Life
Eternal life is the phrase used in scripture to define the quality of life that our Eternal Father lives.
The Lord declared, “This is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man” (Moses 1:39).
Immortality is to live forever as a resurrected being.
Through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, everyone will receive this gift.
Eternal life, or exaltation, is to live in God's presence and to continue as families (see D&C 131:1–4).
Like immortality, this gift is made possible through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
However, to inherit eternal life requires our “obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel” (Articles of Faith 1:3).

Do you see the changes that are mentioned that makes God more the a man?
More then you and I.
PS. Some of ya’ll will try to divert attention from this simple answer by mentioning the references to us being partly responsible for our progression in the eternities.
There is a more definitive search function than the "A to Z" search at the LDS website, Fred. Searching "Exalted Man" at the LDS.org website yields this:
I will go back to the beginning before the world was, to show what kind of a being God is. What sort of a being was God in the beginning? Open your ears and hear, all ye ends of the earth, for I am going to prove it to you by the Bible, and to tell you the designs of God in relation to the human race, and why He interferes with the affairs of man.
God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens! That is the great secret. If the veil were rent today, and the great God who holds this world in its orbit, and who upholds all worlds and all things by His power, was to make himself visible—I say, if you were to see him today, you would see him like a man in form—like yourselves in all the person, image, and very form as a man; for Adam was created in the very fashion, image and likeness of God, and received instruction from, and walked, talked and conversed with Him, as one man talks and communes with another.
In order to understand the subject of the dead, for consolation of those who mourn for the loss of their friends, it is necessary we should understand the character and being of God and how He came to be so; for I am going to tell you how God came to be God. We have imagined and supposed that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea, and take away the veil, so that you may see.
These ideas are incomprehensible to some, but they are simple. It is the first principle of the gospel to know for a certainty the character of God, and to know that we may converse with Him as one man converses with another, and that He was once a man like us; yea, that God himself, the Father of us all, dwelt on an earth, the same as Jesus Christ Himself did; and I will show it from the Bible.
Do you see the changes that are mentioned that makes God more the a man?
More then you and I.
More "the" a man?
Oh well, I don't understand that LDS speak, but here's my answer.
Exalted, therefore "more than a man."
But still a man.
An exalted man.
Same as the difference between an accountant and a wrestler.
Both men, one "more" of a man.
What does "the Gospel" refer to in those writings?
The Bible or the Book of Mormon or something different from both of those?
Now this I believe: "Immortality is to live forever as a resurrected being."
That clearly means that a man is "resurrected" to eternal life, not changing from a man into a god.
It's good to see some truth from the LDS writings.
