This is incorrect. In fact, this very portion of Acts in which the Bereans appear, flat out contradicts your "extra biblical" nonsense:
And Paul went in, as was his custom, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, explaining and proving that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ".(Acts 17:2,3)

This is flawed for two basic reasons:
One is the Bereans, being Jews, were not sola scriptura believers.

Why do you keep saying that ALL Jews were not sola scriptura? You could not possibly know this. Are you like Witness Lee, who claimed to be all places at all times, and knew what was taught by every Christian teacher who ever lived? (well, at least since 1945) Really? Are you that far off the deep end? You need to get out more, my friend. Read some Church history from different sources. Make some new mature, knowledgeable Christian friends that can set you straight on some of these crazy notions of yours. And most important and urgent for you - read the Bible without the filter of Local Church/Lee dogma. If you want to spout off so much about the Bereans you need to be a Berean. Why do you think they were called noble? One reason is that they were apparently good listeners. They didn't suppose that they already knew it all.

The second is that those who did not receive the message would have used the Scripture also. Even if their rejection was due to jealousy or some other reason, it doesn't negate the fact that they too searched the Scriptures, like the Bereans.

Not everybody who "uses the Scripture" uses it correctly. Not everyone who searches the Scriptures searches correctly. Some come to the Scriptures, but they "refuse to come to Jesus Christ that they may have life." (see John 5:40). Let's let the Bible tell us about who used the Scriptures correctly and who did not, and refrain from making wild speculations. You are confusing the issue because you are confused about Lee's errors. Hang in there kid...keep swinging....eventually you'll land a punch.
