Adoptionism
What if Jesus became God's Son rather than always being so
Adoptionism taught that Jesus was a human being whom God adopted as his Son, perhaps at his baptism, rather than being eternally divine. It is associated with Theodotus of Byzantium and a later Spanish form, and is classed as a type of dynamic monarchianism. The major Christian traditions condemned it, insisting instead that the Son shares the Father's eternal divinity rather than acquiring sonship at a point in time.
