Last time I checked ecumenical councils put such a view outside the bounds of orthodoxy. Such a position must be argued for -- you can't just assume it. Is it also profoundly solid to say that the "heavenly Father" used to be a human being in another universe and at some point in time became the god of this universe? “profoundly solid”?

Belief in multiple Gods or deities is not inherently polytheistic so long as one of those deities are supreme. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints view the members of the godhead as completely distinct beings united as one in purpose but not in being. They maintain that God ( Heavenly Father) is the supreme being to which all in the Universe ( including Jesus and the Holy Ghost) recognize as supreme. This to me seems a profoundly solid biblical and christian position. Just to make an important clarification.
