I wonder if maybe enough of the three steppers believed in the "light doctrine" or some other doctrine allowing for exceptions to the 3 step salvation belief that they tolerated the other view but over time that changed.

My friend the problem looking back and not being there is this. Those PCI guys so fervently preached
Acts 2:38 that when you heard them you wouldn't know the difference unless you listened closely to the terminology. Elder Gurley baptized 100's if not 1000's in Jesus and preached the HGB for strong his converts recieved it. And did the majority of PCI guys. However when personally speaking with them they believed folks were saved at repentance but the only Bible baptism was in Jesus Name and receiving the HGB was essential to living a overcoming life as a saint. So I am sure it seemed more semantical back then. But as time progressed the PAJC men believed
Acts 2:38 was the new birth and preached it as so. It was destined to fail.
