There was no leap. Only scripture was provided showing that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God - Romans 10:17. Therefore there is no faith outside of the scripture as we receive faith by believing and following what God's Word says.

If I preach Christ crucified to someone and they come to Christ they didn't hear the Word of God?

You keep equivocating between God's words (Book) and God's Word (Person).

And you cannot preach Christ and him crucified without knowing or believing what Gods' Word says can you? Therefore the scriptures are the only rule of faith.

And you cannot preach Christ and him crucified without Gods' Word.

Person or Book? Person obviously. God preached Christ to Adam and not a single book had been written at the time, so self-evidently books are not strictly necessary to do that.

Sure it does. How can you know God without his Word? You cannot. That is why it is written "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God - Romans 10:17.

No one knows about Christ without the spoken and written Word of God. Therefore the scriptures are the only rule of faith that brings Gods salvation.

I came to know of the Lord Jesus through a gift of faith that wasn't from the Scriptures, so yes.

People who pray and go to Church learn things about Him that they did not necessarily learn from the Scriptures, like all the illiterate Saints who saw His Light and were sanctified.

So yes, I and others know things about Him outside of the Scriptures.

Abraham came to faith without the Bible because he heard God's Word direct.

Not according to the scriptures. "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God" - Romans 10:17. The church or "the faith" is based on the scriptures which is the spoken and written Word of God. There is no knowledge of anything you have written above in your post outside of the scriptures. Therefore the scriptures are the only rule of faith.

the verse u use as "prooftext" shows that Jesus himself is the only way we get faith. The bible just doesn't say scripture does

Exactly the spoken and written Word of God are scripture and all these things are written for our admonition upon who the ends of the world have come. You just made my point.

The Church has always had God's Word.
