Let's say, for the moment at least, that I am unconcerned with Heaven. Is there more to the meaning of Salvation- beyond the reward of heaven?
Yes, a relationship with Him, ability to make wiser decisions with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

In Philippians 2 quoted in post 36 there is a very big question there which seems to point out that just as Jesus was in the form of God, that we too have, or at least can have, that same attribute. So it seems that the answer is Yes, he was god incarnate, and so are we.
I have to disagree with the last portion of the statement, we can be like him in word and deed but, never be GOD as He Is.

In fact he says we will( I think this means we can, or should be able to) do greater things(miracles) than he.

Do you mean by perfection that we would be sinless?
If so, why would Jesus say sin no more if it cannot be done? Maybe it takes a number of steps / little by little. that's okay.

I would take this to mean intentional sin, don't walk or live in sin.
