Christ -> Holy Spirit -> Church -> Truth -> Scripture

he breathed on them; and he said to them: Receive ye the Holy Ghost.

(John 20:22)

1 And when the days of the Pentecost were accomplished, they were all together in one place: 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a mighty wind coming, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared to them parted tongues as it were of fire, and it sat upon every one of them: 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they began to speak with divers tongues, according as the Holy Ghost gave them to speak.

(Acts 2)

house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth

(1 Timothy 3:15)

hold the traditions which you have learned, whether by word, or by our epistle.

(2 Thessalonians 2:14)

I am not following what you are asserting these verses ares saying.

Your diagram does not compute or it is mixmatched.

Christ promised that the Holy Spirit would guide us into all truth. The Holy Spirit indwells the church. He guides them through Scripture, teachers, circumstances, etc., but ALL OF HOW HE GUIDES is in conformance with Scripture. If we didn't have teachers, what we need to know is in Scripture. If we were confined to our beds and that was our only circumstance- all we need to know is in Scripture. NOTHING that the Holy Spirit teaches us is a contradiction to Scripture. So, if I drew your diagram, it would be

Christ promised the Holy Spirit who gave Truth to the Church both in the writing of and reading/teaching of Scripture. In short
Christ/Holy Spirit -> Truth ->Scripture ->Church

Acts 10:44

While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.

10:45

And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. 10:46

For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God.

Then answered Peter, 10:47

Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

10:48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
