Nowhere in scripture do we see Jesus equating anyone other than himself with God. Jesus is "exclusively" equal with God. This is the common and orthodox Christian view, but it is not shared by Mormonism.

Actually, Mormons also believe that at the current time, Jesus is exclusively equal to God (differing only in role). We also believe that to "receive all that the Father hath" will make us equal at some future point to what God is now. Since most other religions that I know of don't seem to have anything on the timeline after the Resurrection, they eliminate that point.

I've got to nit-pic what you just said, although we belive that in time we may become equal in perfection and in glory and power, whatever dominion we achieve is still a portion of His dominion, so we are never equal with Him in every way, and He will always reign over us. We are always His children, He is always our Father.
