Short descriptions of various heresies:

Marcionism was a 2nd-century Christian movement founded by Marcion of Sinope. It taught that the God of the Old Testament was a harsh, lesser deity (the Demiurge), distinct from the good and loving God revealed by Jesus Christ. Marcion rejected the Hebrew Scriptures and created his own shortened Christian canon, consisting only of a version of Luke’s Gospel and ten of Paul’s letters, edited to remove Jewish elements. The Church later condemned Marcionism as heresy.

Gnosticism was a diverse religious movement in the early centuries of Christianity that emphasized secret knowledge (gnosis) as the path to salvation. Gnostics believed the material world was evil or flawed, created by a lower, ignorant deity called the Demiurge, rather than by the true, supreme God. Human beings were thought to contain a divine spark trapped in the material body, and salvation came through awakening this inner knowledge and escaping the material realm. Gnosticism often reinterpreted Christian ideas, presenting Jesus as a divine revealer of hidden truth rather than a savior through his death and resurrection.

Arianism (Arius): Arianism is named after Arius (c. 250 - c. 336), a priest in Alexandria. This is considered the most serious heresy. Jesus Christ was thought of as a special creation by God for man’s salvation. Arianism was the form of Christianity that the Goths adhered to, and it was popular in all the areas they conquered, including Italy, Spain, and Africa.

Adoptionism: says that Jesus was a human being who was “adopted” by God at his conception, at which point he developed a divine nature. Later versions sometimes suggest that he was adopted later, such as when he was baptized by John the Baptist. Jesus > Christ

Docetism: The name comes from the Greek word dokesis, meaning “to seem.” Along the same lines as Sabellianism, Docetism says that Christ was not a real human being and did not have a real human body. He only seemed to be human to us. In a nutshell... Christ only (no Jesus)

Ebionism was an early Jewish-Christian movement that viewed Jesus as a human prophet and the Messiah, but not divine. The Ebionites upheld strict adherence to the Mosaic Law, rejected Paul’s teachings, and often used a Hebrew or Aramaic version of Matthew’s Gospel. They saw Jesus as chosen by God at his baptism rather than existing pre-eternally. The mainstream Church later condemned Ebionism as heresy.

Modalism was an early Christian belief that taught the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are not distinct persons, but rather different modes or manifestations of one God. According to this view, God appeared as the Father in creation, as the Son in redemption, and as the Holy Spirit in sanctification. Critics said Modalism denied the real distinctions within the Trinity, and the Church condemned it as heresy in the 3rd century. It is also known as Sabellianism, after one of its main teachers, Sabellius.

Pneumatomachians. The Pneumatomachians (from Greek pneuma “spirit” and machesthai “to fight,” meaning “fighters against the Spirit”) were a 4th-century Christian group who denied the full divinity of the Holy Spirit.
They accepted that the Son (Jesus) was divine, following the Nicene Creed, but claimed that the Holy Spirit was a created being or a ministering power, not equal to the Father and the Son. Their views were condemned as heresy at the Council of Constantinople in 381 CE, which affirmed the Holy Spirit’s coequality and coeternity with the Father and the Son in the Trinity.

Sabellianism is named for its founder Sabellius (fl. 2nd century). It is sometimes referred to as modalistic monarchianism. The father, son, and holy ghost are three modes, roles, or faces of a single person, God. This, of course, implies that Jesus Christ was purely divine, without humanness, and therefore could not truly have suffered or died.

Monophysitism: Monophysite comes from the Greek words for “one body.” This heresy says that Jesus Christ was a joining of the eternal Logos with the human person Jesus, which occurred at incarnation. He therefore is two separate natures joined in one body. Monophysitism is very much alive in several present-day Egyptian and Middle Eastern sects of Christianity.
