Pre-reformation movements that have been argued, with differing degrees of anachronism and accuracy, as having individual ideas later espoused by some Protestant groups include:

* [[Antidicomarians]]: An active Christian sect from the 3rd to 5th century. They believed that Mary's virginity was not perpetual. Their radical opponents were [[Collyridians]], those who worshipped Mary as though she was equated to the Trinity.

* [[Novatianists]]: An early reform movement started by [[Novatian]], a student of [[Tertullian]], which opposed the return of the [[lapsi]] to the priesthood and taught [[credobaptism]]

* [[Antidicomarians]]: An active Christian sect from the 3rd to 5th century. They believed that Mary's virginity was not perpetual. Their radical opponents were [[Collyridians]], those who worshipped Mary as though she was equated to the Trinity.

* [[Jovinian]] and [[Jovinianism]] (died c. 405): Jovinian was a 4th-century theologian who challenged the wave of ascetism in the 4th century, challenged the exaltation of virginity, denied the [[perpetual virginity of Mary]], and he believed that there is no difference between abstaining from food and enjoying it with thanksgiving. Jovinian taught a perseverance doctrine similar to John Calvin, as he taught the truly regenerate will persevere to the end. Some also have argued Jovinian held grace oriented salvation views, similar to the Reformation. Jovinian is sometimes praised as an early forerunner of the reformation. It has been argued that Jovinian believed in a distinction between the visible and [[Church invisible|invisible churches]], based on his statement that the Church is founded on faith, and that all in the Church are taught by God and that no "unripe" members exist within the Church and no one can enter the church "by fraud".

* [[Byzantine Iconoclasm]]: this was a movement within the Eastern Church that gained imperial support in the 8th century from [[Leo III the Isaurian]] (685 – 741) and some later emperors. They eliminated religious [[icon]]s, with some violence, possibly influenced by [[Islam]]. Protestant Iconoclasts looked back to the Byzantine iconoclasts to justify their assault on religious image. Protestants in the reformation used the same Biblical and [[Patristics|Patristic]] texts used by the Byzantines in the 8th and 9th centuries, to condemn religious images.
