No. The life gain clause on Spinal Embrace is part of the the delayed triggered ability that triggers at the beginning of the next end step after Spinal Embrace resolved, and that ability is the only way Spinal Embrace can make you gain life. The life gain is not a separate ability that would trigger if you sacrifice the creature in an other way.

I'm a former judge (lapsed), who keeps up to date on rules and policy. Keep in mind that judges' answers aren't necessarily more valid than those of people who aren't judges; what matters is we can quote the rules to back up our answers. When in doubt, ask for such quotes.
If I cast spinal embrace on an opposing players creature, then sac it to carnage altar, do I also gain life for it?
