Is it possible to say "stand to the test of time" meaning to not survive the test of time but something that will be proven either right or wrong by the test of time?
There are examples of people using it on the internet, but I wouldn't use it. Quite a few of the examples are not native speakers.

Reread my post #4.
If you want examples of incorrect usage you'll have to search the internet yourself.
