The question doesn't really involve an attempt to know the mind of God as Timmy humorously suggests. The question involves the historicity of an idea.
In this case the idea is the "Three Stepper" doctrine and the fact that it had no adherents before the 20th Century.
Phil asks if the same can be said concerning the idea of "sovereign election" and justification by grace.
The answer to Phil's question is that there are many examples of those who believed justification by grace before the 20th Century.
