Is modern Evangelical Protestant soteriology consistent with the early Christian idea of "theosis"?

Early Christians used the term **[theosis](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theosis_(Eastern_Orthodox_theology))** , which puts forth a "exaltation", "divinization" deification concept which the Eastern orthodox church still holds today. > [T]he Word of God became man, that thou mayest learn from man how man may become God. > > For if one knows himself, he will know God; and knowing God, he will be made like God > > [H]is is beauty, the true beauty, for it is God; and that man becomes God, since God so wills. Heraclitus, then, rightly said, “Men are gods, and gods are men.” For the Word Himself is the manifest mystery: God in man, and man God. > — Clement of Alexandria (c. 150-215) A lot of Christians see salvation as entrance into the kingdom in a general sense instead of as a process of becoming more and more god-like through eternity. My impression is that the church in the west doesn't even think in terms of the ideal theosis any more. Is the doctrine of theosis actually contrary to Evangelical Protestants today? Is it actually a different soteriology or has the emphasis just shifted for other reasons
