Really? If we might lose eternal life, why would God give it to anyone? If your Jesus became a god, why would he become a a non-god?
As for earning eternal life, Mormonism teaches:
Doctrine and Covenants 130
20 There is a
law, irrevocably decreed in
heaven before the foundations of this world, upon which all
blessings are predicated—
21 And when we obtain any
blessing from God, it is by
obedience to that law upon which it is predicated.
“Every key, power, and authority ever dispensed from heaven to men on earth, which is necessary for their eternal salvation, has already been restored in this dispensation” (McConkie,
Mormon Doctrine, p. 200). The Latter-day Saints are the recipients of those great blessings, and the Lord has said that where “much is given much is required” (
D&C 82:3)....
The psalmist wrote, “O how love I thy law!” (
Psalm 119:97). Is that a feeling you share, or do you sometimes feel resentful toward the laws of God? One of Satan’s most successful lies is that the commandments of God are restrictive and limiting. “If you would really be free,” he urges, “cut yourself loose from such restraints. Be free! Be independent!” The deception lies in denying the eternal principle that only obedience to law secures the blessings guaranteed by law (see
D&C 130:20–21). Disobedience to law necessitates penalties, which are ordained by a loving Father to purge the souls of His children of what hinders their progression. When individuals are so purged, they can obtain as much happiness as they are willing to live for, according to the law they become capable of living (see
D&C 88:21–24).

What are some of the things we must do to access the blessings of Christ’s Atonement? (We must have faith, repent, be baptized, receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, endure to the end, and receive and obey personal revelation.)
Lesson 8: Salvation Comes through Jesus Christ

“Our Church is founded upon the premise that spiritual growth and exaltation must be earned by the efforts of the individual.”
Henry D. Moyle, Improvement Era, December 1937, 787
“There will be a wise and just God to sit in judgment on all men. … The wicked may prosper for a time, the rebellious may seem to profit by their transgressions, but the time is coming when, at the bar of justice, all men will be judged, ‘every man according to their works’ (Rev. 20:13). No one will ‘get by’ with anything. On that day no one will escape the penalty of his deeds, no one will fail to receive the blessings he has earned."
Spencer W. Kimball, The Miracle of Forgiveness, p. 304–5
You said: "Really? If we might lose eternal life, why would God give it to anyone? If your Jesus became a god, why would he become a a non-god?"
Jesus has stated many times that blessings are conditional in scriptures like these:
(New Testament | Matthew 6:33)
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
(New Testament | Matthew 19:24)
24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
(New Testament | Mark 9:47)
47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
(New Testament | Mark 10:15)
15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
(New Testament | Luke 9:62)
62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
(New Testament | John 3:5)
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
(New Testament | Acts 14:22)
22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
(New Testament | 1 Corinthians 6:9 - 10)
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
Jesus became human to take upon himself the sins of the world.:
(New Testament | Hebrews 5:7 - 9)
7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
8
Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
9 And
being made perfect, he became the author of eternal
salvation unto all them that obey him;
