I don't understand how a reciever has to hold possesion to the groud in the endzone for a touchdown, but all a runner has to do is make the tip of the ball cross the line then can fumble.

I would think you should have to keep possesion of the ball into the endzone until the play is over.

The runner already has possession of the ball.

If the receiver has already completed the reception, he does not have to hold it past the plane. However - whether or not a reception is judged completed depends on if it comes out before the receiver either makes a move or is downed.
