It is not clear whether Nestor himself, let alone the Aramaic-speaking church actually held to the heresy called Nestorianism. The Church of the East rejects that heresy. Some of the early splits were due to some speaking Aramaic, some speaking Coptic, and some speaking Greek, and some speaking Latin.
Is our responsibility limited as the "priesthood of all believers" (that is, outside the Office of Public Ministry) is "endorsing" (not necessarily enforcing) close communion? eg. my mother-in-law gets upset with me because I suggest (or perhaps encouraged) she not commune in our LCMS congregation - or at least she should discuss it further with our pastor - because of her current beliefs "by her confessions and statements" - not necessarily about the Lord's Supper
