With theism, God is always separate from the universe. With pantheism, God is the universe and nothing else. With panentheism, God is in the universe, and the universe is in God. Theism sees God as a separate being, separated from everything. Pantheism sees God as everything, and God is limited to the everything of creation. Panentheism sees God both beyond everything and, at the same time, as part of everything.
