Christ says we must beleive and be baptised. There is no explicit commandment to search Holy Scripture for what we beleive. ??? How are men to believe if not by reading the word of God and being led by the Holy Spirit? Are we to believe our emotions? Our feelings? What other men tell us is true?
Scripture is the word of God. Search it and find Him.
We agree about the fruits of the Spirit. We are known by our fruit; they're an excellent road map.

Well considering that Holy Scripture in written form was rare and expensive until fairly recently not to mention most folks in the early church couldn't read it if they'd wanted to and could afford it. I suspect that reading scripture is not a requirement for salvation.
