5:21 What does Paul mean here?
Primarily Paul is admonishing Christians here to carefully test the prophecies of V20 (cp 1Thes 5:20). Secondarily Paul is calling upon Christians not to passively accept every teaching in the church at face value. Everything must be tested in the light of scripture (cp Ac 17:10-11; 2 Pe 1:16-19; 1Jn 4:1).
Paul and Silas' teaching in Ac 17 was acceptable because it conformed to scripture. Any teaching that does not conform to scripture must be rejected, regardless of who teaches it.
