Nope - Someone telling me about his or her deity/ies does not make me a theist - it does not convince me. For someone to become a theist, they will have to become convinced that there is a deity - If I informed you about the tiny, little elf in my closet - would that make you an elfist? Hopefully you'd still lack elfism despite my "informing" you.
