No bible no salvation, for there is no faith without God's Word. The Holy Spirit works in conjunction with God's Word to give us understanding of God. The Spirit is a Spirit of truth and understanding. However we cannot have the Spirit without the Word and either can we understand the Word without the Spirit.
We have 2 perfect gifts from God the Father. His perfect Scripture and a teacher in the Holy Spirit. We are guided by the Spirit on all things in our lives; He is within us and searches deep within us to chastise us of our sins with the perfect Word of God. 2 Timothy 3:16 says that "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness."
The Holy Spirit also inspire and preserve every single word in the Bible, so that it is also perfect for us. All the books of the bible are inter- connected and related to one another. Thus it is plenary inspiration - all books and words are inspired by God to be written by man. All words are inspired to be written as part of Scriptures, and by faith we believe all words of the scriptures as perfect God's Word. 2 Peter 1:20-21 says "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost."
