Faith
People, that can be included in some personal theism, believe without any sound proof (like most religions) that there is/are some invisible God/gods out there.
But also they believe in a lot of other stuff that science can't prove.
It's not necessary to believe in God (or something like that) in order to be a member of God's Community. Faith in something unknown is not a requirement in order to be a part of God's Community.
We have our believe system based in facts, science, experiences, computation of possibilities and logic reasoning; but you still could believe in other unproven stuff.
Followers
Most of the time, people that can be categorized as using personal theism, follow the ideas of an already existent massive religion or other preexistent form of spirituality, but with some small/big differences (within a very different range of creativity and individuality).
Creating a system of ideas (ideology, believe system) from scratch is pretty hard and time consuming, so what they usually do is to take a old ideology and make some changes (upgrade it).
We don't follow others (we are sovereign creators), but we can take some ideas from others and integrate them in our system (integration).
We can have followers too, in other words, people that can follow our work (for very different reasons) but they don't want to get involve too much.
Deities
A lot of religions (and variants of religions) have a huge diversity of deities or special beings, that people worship somehow, or they ask them for intercession to God/gods. There are a lot of people in personal theism that are into this; some examples:
Hinduism: Myriad of local deities (devas and devis).
Catholicism (Christianity): Saints, Virgin Mary variants.
New age groups: Ascended masters and spiritual guides.
Basic spirituality: Ghosts and ancestors.
If we really become gods (being god), it will not be a surprise that they try to worshiping us.
We will try to have (as we do now) sane/healthy relationships with people.
Personal spirituality
Most of what we said about personal spirituality (https://godscommunity.boards.net/thread/219/personal-spirituality-comparing) could apply to people that are involved in personal theism.
At least they have some individuality and creativity, and maybe are involved in some eclecticism.
We have individuality even if we are a community; we have creativity and we are ready to the eventual process of integration of external ideas (eclecticism).
