It's not about successors, it's about the written word of God, identified by the early Christians, as the only authority for faith.As far as 'scriptures' noted in the NT - it refers to the OT and the prophecies to Christ.
AND furthermore; Philip was sent to teach the OT to the Eunuch...
Peter warned wresting the scriptures or epistles... for ourselves.

It did not matter when a council "gave" the canon of the new testament to the churches, the writings of the apostles were already distributed to churches, and copies made to reach other churches, from very early on, and, they were read to those there.
