Trostani, bestow and Gods

Question,
If I have a Trostani, Selesnya's Voice in play and I play, say, Boon Satyr for it's bestow cost on another creature I have on the battlefield, will I gain the 2 life from Trostani from the Satyr since it's still a creature card despite it being cast as an aura? If not, will I gain the life when that aura becomes a creature whenever the creature it was attached to dies?

The same is said for the Gods. If I play a God with a Trostani on the board but don't have enough devotion for the God to become a creature, will I gain life from Trostani since it is still a creature card despite entering the battlefield without the devotion to be a creature?

Bestow creatures state they come in as enchantments, and gain creature back once the creature is removed. I believe you gain life when he reverts back to a creature. If your devotion is higher than 5 when the gods enter they gain creature, so yes as long as they enter with the proper devotion

You would not gain the life when it is bestowed since the card is not a creature when entering. As to when the enchanted creature dies the Boon Satyr never re-enters the battlefield so Trostani, Selesnya's Voice cares nothing about it.
