That depends on what you mean. In my studies I have never come across anything that talks about a person being struck dead in the NT. In fact, most people who became Christians in the NT were Jewish, some Gentile, some Phillistines, etc.
Most people who were struck dead were in stories from the Old Testament.

I think you got it wrong. The people Ananias, with Sapphira his wife died because they have the wrong kind of fear for God. Didn't find anywhere to suggest that they were struck dead by anyone or God.
Therefore it's dangerous to have the wrong opinion of God. You should start attending a good church.

Yep that's easy. Annanias and Saphira were the unfortunates in the story. Its from Acts 5.
1Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. 2With his wife's full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles' feet.
3Then Peter said, "Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? 4Didn't it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn't the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied to men but to God."
5When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened. 6Then the young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.
7About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8Peter asked her, "Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?"
"Yes," she said, "that is the price."
9Peter said to her, "How could you agree to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also."
10At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband. 11Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these events.
