Reform found that both the Roman branch of Protestant Christianity as agreed in fundamental in what regards the Trinity and the nature of Christ.
The Nicene Creed and the Creed of Chalcedon were generally acceptable to both.
Luther taught a mutual exchange of properties between the two natures, so that what was characteristic of each became common to both. Appropriated the divine nature of everything human in Christ, and humanity was what belonged to the divine nature. Reformed churches emphasized the communion of the divine and human in Christ.
In the Reformation, two small groups did not agree with the Nicene position:
The first was the Socinians, which resurrected the basic idea that it is inconceivable Monarchians a divine Trinity. Modern Unitarianism perpetuates this notion.
The second was that of the Arminians that in some respects, adopted a similar position to that of certain groups above, that the Son is subordinate to the Father. This position is reflected in various Christian sects today.
