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?

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.

Questions like this should be asked in the Q&A.

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
