I'm not quite sure what you are confused about. The 1 Cor. 15 passage is about the resurrection, which is the glorification of all Christians in which there are degrees of glorification - Dan. 12:3 "
some will shine like the stars of heaven." The 2 Cor. 12 verse is about Paul's visionary experience, which is an extraordinary and exceptional event.
The faith chapter (Heb. 11) is telling us that our faith is a fundamental aspect of our relationship with God. Rom. 3:22 tells us that faith in Christ pleases God, in which He declares us righteous. Phil. 3:9 and Rom. 9:30 concur.
Rom 3:21-22
But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction
Phil. 3:9
and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith
Rom 9:30
What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, attained righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith
Then 1 Jn. 3:2 says that we don't really know what glorification will be like, but when we see Christ (in the resurrection), we will be glorified like Him in some way. Glorification is a change in the physical nature such that the spiritual nature is intensified and manifested.
1 Jn. 3:2
Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.
At that time, we will "eat of the tree of life" (Rev. 2:7), which may be the same as "partaking of divine nature" (2 Pet. 1:4). However, we partake of divine nature now in some way, since by faith in Christ and His words of spiritual wisdom, our character changes to a more Christlike state. But in resurrected and glorified bodies, that nature will be greatly intensified. It will no longer be hidden by mortal flesh, but will be revealed transparently.
Rev. 2:7
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God.
2 Pet. 1:4
For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.
If this doesn't answer your question, could you be more specific?
