The Arian concept of Christ is that the Son of God did not always exist, but was created by — and is therefore distinct from — God the Father.

) After the dispute over Arianism became politicized and a general solution to the divisiveness was sought — with a great majority holding to the Trinitarian position — the Arian position was officially declared heterodox.

In western Europe Arianism, which had been taught by Ulfilas, the Arian missionary to the Germanic tribes, was dominant among the Goths and Lombards ( and, significantly for the late Empire, the Vandals ); but it ceased to be the mainstream belief by the 8th century.

Because virtually all extant written material on Arianism was written by its opponents, the nature of Arian teachings is difficult to define precisely today.

The letter of Auxentius, a 4th-century Arian bishop of Milan, regarding the missionary Ulfilas, gives the clearest picture of Arian beliefs on the nature of the Trinity: God the Father (" unbegotten "), always existing, was separate from the lesser Jesus Christ (" only-begotten "), born before time began and creator of the world.
