I would simply add that accepting something is a passive activity, not grounded in the receiver, whereas rejecting something is an active activity grounded in the will of the rejector.
For example, I can “receive” a military medal posthumously. And we speak of it in such terms: “So and so received the MOH which was presented to his wife.”
There is no act of the soldier; merely an act of the giver of the medal.
Okay, I can accept that, as long as there is the understanding that there is a whole list of commands and directives that the believer needs to follow - most of Jesus’ preaching and teaching told the people what they needed to do as well.
