Certainly. The Bible says in Isaiah 8:20 "To the Law and to the testimony, if they speak not according to this word it is because there is no light in them".

yes absolutely! it is what the Bible describes as having noble character. if you don't know the Bible you can be lead astray. look whats happening in the world of "Really Whacky Christianity" i mean please...can't they just read the Bible and correct what is wrong with their doctrine? sheeeesh!! here is your scripture reference.
1 John 4:1 [ Test the Spirits ] Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Acts 17:11 Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.

The readiness of the Beroeans to give ear to their message, and their diligence in examining the Scriptures in search of confirmation of the things learned, earned them the commendation found at Acts 17:11 Immediately by night the brothers sent both Paul and Silas out to Be·roe´a, and these, upon arriving, went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 Now the latter were more noble-minded than those in Thes·sa·lo·ni´ca, for they received the word with the greatest eagerness of mind, carefully examining the Scriptures daily as to whether these things were so. 12 Therefore many of them became believers, and so did not a few of the reputable Greek women and of the men.

No. It is not needed to test the words of God. The word of God is the truth.
Rev 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
Rev 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Of course! The Word of God itself tells us to do just that. Otherwise, we have no basis whatsoever for determining what is truth and what just sounds good to our itching ears.

He offers himself as an example worthy of imitation
10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Blind faith is blind and you can run in to walls if you are blind.
If you can't trust your experiences you can't live without worry.
You should test things out and decide for yourself.
Other people can be wrong and at least half of them are wrong.

Jesus answered this when he said that scripture was about him and Gods love, not about mans ways, so, definately not.
