The problem with most Protestant churches today, especially the evangelicals is that they give the Bible an authority it never claims for itself. Also, the early Christians didn't have the idea of a closed canon as new scripture kept coming out well into the 2nd and 3rd centuries. The later stuff was mostly all rejected by the church eventually, but much of it was in regular use by orthodox Christians at the time and in some cases way into the middle ages.
