Are the Assyrian Church and Nestorianism the same things?

The Assyrian Church of the East, and Nestorianism, are they the same thing?EDIT: So was the Christianity that spread among the Mongols before Genghis Khan"Nestorianism,"or Assyrian Christianity? ------

The Assyrian Church of the East would say no. But many others say yes.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assyria...urch.com.au/We have Assyrians in the Catholic Church. Many Eastern Rite Catholics use the Peshitta - which is a version of the bible FAR more accurate than our own. It's never been interpreted. ------

No. The Assyrian Church is not Nestorian. Nestorianism was an ancient heresy condemned by the Church corporate, and the Assyrian Church could not agree with the wording of the orthodox Creed. The issue was nearly resolved some time ago by Pope John Paul II.It was agreed between JPII and Mar Dinka IV (the"pope"of the Assyrian Church) that they were in agreement on Chirstology, but only for reasons of language the issue could not be settled.The Assyrian Church is commonly, but erroneously, referred to as"Nestorian". ------
