Even though Protestantism did not exist for 1,500 years after the beginning of Christianity, that does not mean that specific aberrant doctrines that many Protestants share were not taught by condemned individuals. This presentation, courtesy of "Catholic Matt," covers the four fringe heretics of the fourth century.

-Aerius of Sebaste (opposition to clergy-laity distinction, religious holidays, prayers for the dead)
-Helvidius (opposition to the perpetual virginity of the Theotokos)
-Jovinian (opposition to the blessing of virginity over marriage)
-Vigilantius (opposition to the veneration of relics and saints)
