If someone receives the Word with gladness they are sincere in that moment ... so, it's quite possible for someone to be truly born again and then accept lies of the devil later. The NT warns us numerous times about the wiles of the devil.

If it were not possible to be led astray, the Lord would not have bothered putting these warnings in the NT for His people. Paul spoke of people what walk with him in ministry who had fallen away. Paul would not have allowed them to be a part of his calling had they not been truly saved.
