Both forms maintain that God is one being and one "person" and that Jesus is the (or a) Son of God, but generally not God himself.
The earliest Christians maintained that Jesus was a human being who was made God - a god - a divine being. Later they ended up saying that Jesus was born to the union of God and a mortal because the Holy Spirit came upon Mary and that's how she conceived Jesus, so Jesus literally had God as his father.
