Now the next phrase,"know as I am known," is a tad more difficult to interpret, but I believe Paul is simply saying that he will have all knowledge for spiritual maturity. He has already discussed knowledge in 13:8, and there, knowledge is connected to prophecy; both divinely enabled gifts. What I think Paul is conveying is that there will no longer be a dependence upon direct, divine revelation revealed through gifted men, but all revelation will be contained in the canon of the NT.
Can you guys expand some more on that?

This guy has a good point; we do not have all knowledge and understand and don't know God as well as He knows us.

so if you could combat that mind frame it'd be cool.. thanks.

oh, and this also:

The most learned doctor of theology, the person who you consider the absolute authority on things pertaining to theology, no matter who that person is, they are still a child, doing childish things, talking in childish ways, thinking in childish ways.

We all are because not one of us has reached our full maturity in Christ.

Romans 8:29 (in Arminian): For whom He foreknew, He also [foreknew] to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.
