Yes, that's the standard reply. However, that's not the biblical test of a prophet. According to Deuteronomy, if a person claiming to be a prophet of God is wrong only once, they are a false prophet. That's the Word of God.
So, when Jonah told the people of Nineveh that God was going to kick their asses, instead of telling them to repent or else God would kick their asses; when Jonah was disappointed when he sat up on the mountain waiting to watch the ass-kicking that never took place because the Ninevans did repent; was Jonah a false prophet?
The standard you cite is absurd and impossible. There has only been one man, in the entire history of humanity, that has never been wrong, even once. By your standard, it is impossible for anyone other than Jesus himself to have been a prophet of God.
