I think you could, but there’s a good chance that it would emerge as a separate religion out of Christianity instead of changing the identity of Christianity. Another user said it well already, that Mormonism and Islam are basically already this.
The new scripture develops upon the ideas of the existing religion, but when a large group rejects the additions, a schism occurs, causing the existing religion to stay mostly the same while the new religion goes off and does its own thing. Hence why Judaism did not stop being a thing when Christianity emerged; enough people rejected the legitimacy of the additions and just continued on as they were.
So theoretically I’d say the answer is yes, but it’d need to be compelling enough to convince the vast majority of Christians to get behind it, otherwise it just becomes its own thing.
