No. The only person who can ever もらう is the speaker. Anyone can 受ける. Also, one is an essential part of giving/receiving that shows social status in the speech itself, and the other is not. I would suggest never switching them around, although there's bound to be some time I'm blanking when you can replace 受ける with もらう.
