John 1:12-13:
Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God - children born not of natural decent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.
There seems to be a difference between
those who receive him" and " those who believed in his name".
Yet either way, they have a "right" to be children of God.
So it seems to me that you do not have eternal security unless you "act" on your free gift of eternal life.
