Not if you use the full standard works (which you did say you had read), Peter was President of the Church (same position Joseph Smith held - which makes his actions comparable)- made him a prophet, seer and revelator, likewise other apostles. I am not a Christian have no desire to be so am not restricted to the bible as my only source of revelation on the matter.

Everybody is entitled to revelation for themselves and their calling.
