It is trust and faith in Christ which leads to salvation: but the trust may be engendered, inspired, or nourished through many channels. Including (as you point out) the scriptures; but also many other means, including hymns, the liturgy, fellowship, prophecy, miracles, and testimony.
Cheers!
hymns, the liturgy, fellowship, prophecy, miracles, and testimonyAll those God-given "channels" aid our sanctification, but as Paul says "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Eph. 2:8-9)
Saved by grace through faith.
"Be not afraid; only believe." -- Mark 5:36
