The Nestorians are followers of Nestorius (c. AD 386–451), who was Archbishop of Constantinople. Nestorianism is based on the belief put forth by Nestorius that emphasized the disunity of the human and divine natures of Christ. According to the Nestorians, Christ essentially exists as two persons sharing one body. His divine and human natures are completely distinct and separate. This idea is not scriptural, however, and goes against the orthodox Christian doctrine of the hypostatic union, which states that Christ is fully God and fully man in one indivisible Person. God the Son, Jesus Christ, took on a human nature yet remained fully God at the same time.

When Infosec and Digipres share interests...
TL;DR
- Attack surface with file formats is too big.
- Specs are useless (just a nice ‘guide’), not representing reality.
- We can’t deprecate formats because we can’t preserve and we can’t define how they really work
- We need open good libraries to simplify landscape, and create a corpus to express the reality of file format, which gives us real “documentation”.
- Then we can preserve and deprecate older format, which reduces attack surface.
- From then on, we can focus on making the present more secure.
- We don't need new formats: reality will diverge from the specs anyway - we need 'alive' (up to date, traceable) specs.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

The Hope of Salvation - Jude 1:24-25 - MessageCole Hartman
Jude gives us hope at the end of a dark letter. In a dark world like today, we need the light of Christ to shine brighter and brighter. Jude shows us where to fix our focus so we can be filled with God's goodness and glory. Join us to explore this incredible passage.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
1. Spirit Freedom Power
Changes in Pentecostal Spirituality
Dr Angelo Ulisse Cettolin

2. Foreword
“It was Hellenism’s emphasis on unchanging rational forms… that
imprisoned the ancient world in eternally repetitive cycles with no
possibility of change. It took Jerusalem’s contrary view that
creation’s goodness was necessarily about the real possibility of
genuine growth that opened up the way… what Pentecostals have
unwittingly anticipated and answered-perhaps through the leading
of the Spirit?....[is] the needful primacy of the right brain with its
emphasis on the personal, the particular, the implicit, with room
for growth, and interconnection. Change in the world God created,
is to be expected.” (Rikk Watts, Professor of NT)
3. Spirituality
“For Christians, “spirituality”
is more than just a human
quest or journey. It is an
attraction to the things of
the Spirit and the conscious
living of a Christian way of
life empowered by the Holy
Spirit” (xxi).
5. Introduction
“…my concern was for
Pentecostals to retain
their radical edge, being
faithful to their historic
roots, and yet still
develop a mature and
relevant spirituality for
this present day and
age” (XX).
6. Early Pentecostalism
“William J. Seymour preached in a time of racial
tension. A descendant of slaves, he had to listen to
Parham’s lectures through an opened door sitting
outside his Bible class” (19).
“…what was extraordinary about Seymour was his
spirituality enabling him to endure persecution from
Christians, non-Christians and white Pentecostals
without becoming embittered” (19).
7. Distinctive Experience
‘Speaking in tongues was to become the point of
demarcation between Pentecostalism and other
previous revival movements that were also marked by
various emotional phenomena, but none had enshrined
such experiences in a biblical doctrine before’. (27)
8. Classical Pentecostal Spirituality
“Spirit baptism is seen as a distinct experience
subsequent to conversion and followed by tongues
speaking as the initial evidence.” (45)
9. Australian Pentecostalism
‘It was primarily a middle class movement…“deprivation
theories” have proven inadequate to explain the origins
and character of Pentecostalism in Australia’. (23)
11. Research Insights
“ The aim was to discover
whether the current
practices of ..pastors
indicated they were
confining themselves to
the classical written
doctrinal position, or
whether their emphasis
was more on the
experience of the working
of the Holy Spirit and the
exercise of the spiritual
gifts.” (45-46)

14. Pentecostal Spiritual Practices are Changing
Less classical expressions of gifts in
church
More mainline forms
More community engagement
More Charismatic & Third Wave
approaches
15. Change is in the Air
Spirituality more institutionalized but not more routinized!
A classic movement has been revitalised
More people are being reached
Institutional tension with freedom in Spirit must be tolerated
Theological development of a truly Trinitarian Pentecostal
church structure and wider understanding & renewed
emphasis on Spirit baptism
16. Constant Reform & Renewal
‘….[the] spirituality remains Pentecostal but it is
delivered and styled in increasingly “contemporary
clothes”. It is still oriented on EXPERIENCE with the
Holy Spirit but is reflecting a more educated and
affluent Western cultural context.’(113)
17. Finally…
“…it might just be that the essential spirituality of
Pentecostalism—the dynamic experience [of] God’s
power and freedom—has caught something of what it
means to be his designers in a world characterized by
change.”
