'''AdoptianismAdoptionism''' is a form of the [[heresy]] of [[Monarchianism]] that appeared in varying forms in the second and third centuries and then again in the eighth and twelfth centuries in the West. The Christological view held was that Jesus was born human and became divine later during his baptism and thus was ''adopted'' as the son of God. This form of the heresy differs from [[Modalism]], the other form of Monarchianism, in which the “Father” and the “Son” are two aspects of the same subject. The adoptionism heresy revived again in the West during the eighth century by the bishops of Toledo and Urgell. It again appeared during the twelfth century in France as ''Neo-Adoptionism''.
