If any man speak as a prophet of God, let his words be examined to see if they line up with the Scriptures.

Nonsense. By that standard Peter could have never proclaimed the Scriptural validity of replacing Judas in the book of Acts.

As fond of Protestants are of quoting Acts 17:11 for authority, they know absolutely nothing of the context of that "testing" so they can not say if their citation is appropriate.

One of the common failings of men is to look upon the apostles of Christ as normative for Christians. That is not the case. They (some, not all) were guided and carried along by the Spirit of God to say and write the Words of God. You and I are not those few, whose office (as Scripture writers and absolute Truth tellers) has ceased.
