One-stepper and Three-stepper are terms we use (some times in a derogatory manner) on these forums. I don't think the PCI and/or PAJC folks used those terms back then.
We use PCI one-stepper to designate someone who believes that salvation/regeneration happens at repentance and then should be followed up by water and Spirit baptism. We use PAJC three-stepper to designate someone who believes that salvation/regeneration does not happen until repentance plus water and Spirit baptism are complete.
It is my understanding that as a general rule ministers in the PCI group believed in one-step salvation and ministers in the PAJC group believed in three-step salvation. I don't know how many ministers within those organizations actually believed the way we now designate it. I've seen different figures. I don't know how accurate they are.
