Anyone who doesn't believe the Bible is God's Word, is not saved. There are many scriptures that show how important God's Word is: “He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and HIS NAME IS THE WORD OF GOD.” (Revelation 19:13) This one brings to mind what else John said about this: “IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, and THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, and THE WORD WAS GOD.” (John 1:1) “THE WORD BECAME FLESH and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14) We are told in no uncertain words, that Jesus Christ is the Word of God, and that He has somehow also given us His Word, given us Himself, in the guise of what we call our Bible. If we look carefully at what Luke said about his own Gospel, we see that Luke considered himself a servant of the Word as well as a servant of Christ. “Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and SERVANTS OF THE WORD. Therefore, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.” (Luke 1:1–4) The Bible also tells us that those who knew Jesus or heard Him speak, knew that He considered scripture infallible. A couple of other important scriptures concerning this are: “Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.” (Matthew 22:29) and “So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “IF YOU ABIDE IN MY WORD, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”” (John 8:31–32) Please know there are a great many more scriptures that speak to this subject.
We're told that through His Word all things were created, including we ourselves, and that one day, He will judge everyone, and His judgement will be based on whether or not the person has rejected or accepted Him and whether or not they have rejected or accepted His Word - the Bible. “There is a judge for the one who rejects me AND DOES NOT ACCEPT MY WORDS; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day.” (John 12:48) Anyone who does not believe the Bible 100% should also then realize that they are not saved. If they call Him "Lord", they will hear the horrible words, “I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!” (Matthew 7:22–23).
