Yes they can. And they'll lose any reward that was coming to them but they forfeited because they wanted to rebel. But they themselves will be saved as by fire.
(1 Corinthians 3) (1 Corinthians 5:1-5)
But the Bible says to examine ourselves to see if we are really in the faith. Because living a sinful lifstyle is really a sign that a
person hasn't been born-again. God knows the hearts.

What does scripture say?
Job 14:4-5
"Who can make the clean out of the unclean? No one! Since his days are determined, the number of his months is with You; and his limits You have set so that he cannot pass"
"Who can make the clean out of the unclean? No one! Since his days are determined, the number of his months is with You; and his limits You have set so that he cannot pass"
Paslm 139:16
"Your eyes saw my unformed body; all my days were written in Your book and ordained for me before one of them came to be."
"Your eyes saw my unformed body; all my days were written in Your book and ordained for me before one of them came to be."
Acts 17:26 NIV
"From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands."
"From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands."
Do not these verses apply to both the lost and the redeemed? Do you read any qualifiers or caveats for lawfulness or lawlessness? If our days are determined and the number of months with God, the limmits being impassable, the days written before they came to be and the appointed time in history marked beforehand then how could there possibly be something we might call "premature"?
Hebrews 9:27
"And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment..."
"And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment..."

Yes they can. The enemy would want us to die in sin, just so we don't make it to heaven.

Enemy cant do anything outside Gods will. We need to trust in Jesus for our justification. Our salvation is his, he bought us. If it was for me I would lose it the same day. I cant even keep my house keys save.

Some in the Bible had their years on earth extended.
Probably wrong but,
12 years added comes to mind?
Can God knock a few or more off?
He can do anything He wishes.

Oh, you mean premature death as in being struck dead by God- is that right? So, is the question: if someone is living in lawlessness and is struck dead by God, what will the consequences be in heaven?

All of us die a premature death ... we were originally created to live forever .... death is a consequence of sin.
All judgement is up to Jesus and only He knows the heart ... He knows the secret things (inside of a person) ... we do not.
Matthew 7:21
Berean Study Bible
Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
Who are all these "Lord Lord" people? We really do not know.

Werent they the tribulation saints, this happens after the wrath of God. It sounds to me this arent to the people who were rapture or dead in Christ. For example we are called brothers in Christ and his bride, but they are call servants and witnesses.

Jesus said he came for the lost sheep of Israel, nevertheless he sended Paul to spread the gospel to the umcircumcised. So for us, the epistle of Paul should be our focus.

Here's the entire passage to put it in context.
Matthew 7
A Tree and Its Fruit
(Luke 6:43-45)
15Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles? 17Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20So then, by their fruit you will recognize them.21Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness

The kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God are different things. One can be taken by force, such as the antichrist the other one will never experience that. Paul isnt a false prophet, Peter approve him as a brother in Christ.
