Thankfully, the folks at FAIR have compiled an entire page of quotes where the prophets have claimed to be merely humans with a prophetic calling.
It appears the standard for testing when the prophet is actually functioning as a prophet is to wait, perhaps as long as a century, to see if what was taught or predicted has withstood the test of time. If it has, it was prophetic. If it hasn't, he was just speaking as a man.
Not sure how that makes the Mormon prophet any different from that weird old uncle some of us only see at Thanksgiving who constantly predicted wars and famines, but okay.
