Couldn’t find “ stretching out the hand “ in the Greek interlinear. You sure you aren’t doing some extra bibicular off-roading here mate.

Χειροτονήσαντες δὲ αὐτοῖς κατ’ ἐκκλησίαν

23 Having chosen now for them in every church
Good Grief, it is right their in Strongs. I am done, you are just obfuscating.

c. with the loss of the notion of extending the hand, to elect, appoint, create: τινα, Acts 14:23

And here is the snippet from a Greek Interlinear:
14:23 ceirotonhsantes
cheirotonEsantes
G5500
vp Aor Act Nom Pl m
HAND-STRETCHing

Who is the judge of false teaching in Bible alone Protestantism?

Each man’s subjective conflicting interpretation of Scripture is the judge.

There is no objective interpretation in Protestantism.
More subject change deflection.

Χειροτονήσαντες , Cheirontonesantes, Having chosen.

Having chosen now for them in every church elders.

It’s a pretty irrelevant and obscure point you are trying to make here, if anything. I don’t see how it matters the methodology whether by hand raising or lot, people were chosen.

Anyway, the laying on of hands is when the sacramental gift of God is transferred to the Apostolic successor.

This doesn’t occur in Protestantism, but only in the Apostolic Churches the gift of God is transferred from one Apostolic Successor to another.

A man is ordained a priest through the laying on of hands, joining the unbroken lineage of Apostolic succession. The sacramental gift of God is given to him, that’s the important thing.

No, it’s right on point.

The highest authority in Protestantism is each man’s opinion, Scripture simply exists to justify his opinion.

It’s very different for Catholics, we hold to the singular objective interpretation of Scripture handed down from the Apostles. Our personal opinions are irrelevant.
