☧ Christology · Natures

Nestorian

Two persons in Christ; rejected by VIII.2's 'one person.'

This is a contested or rejected alternative.

The Westminster baseline on Natures is Chalcedonian-Two-Natures. Personas and schools listed below hold this alternative position instead — either because they argued for it at the Assembly (like the Erastians on polity) or because they represent a receiving tradition that departed from the Standards on this point.

Other positions on Natures

Chalcedonian-Two-Natures WCF Two whole, perfect, and distinct natures — Godhead and manhood — inseparably joined in one person, without conversion, composition, or confusion (WCF VIII.2). Monophysite One nature after the union (Eutychian/monophysite); rejected by VIII.2.
