Not A Saved Person!
Keep in mind that Jesus warned us about those among us who are Wolves in sheeps clothing. Not every person claiming to be a Christian is genuinly, and truely a born-again Christian.

God knows the hearts of those who are saved and/or claim to be saved. Just because people follow Jesus or His teachings doesn't necessarily mean that they are truly saved. Judas was one of Christ's close followers, a Disciple in fact, and he betrayed Jesus with a kiss. Then he committed suicide caused by the guilt he felt. So, it's possible that people who claim to be saved are not. But someone who is saved, will have a hard time getting into hell if they truly love God, because the Holy Spirit will convict them of their sins and make it quite difficult to walk off the path that leads to heaven.

Yes.
If the saved person becomes Apostate.
That's a fancy word to say that they decided later to no longer be a Christian.
There are a bunch of well meaning Christians called "Calvinists" who would disagree with me on this point. They believe that once someone is saved they are always saved. But that is not Biblical.

There is a door that is at Heavens gate that leads to hell.
Hbr 3:14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
Hbr 3:15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
Hbr 3:16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
Hbr 3:17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? [was it] not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
Hbr 3:18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
Hbr 3:19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

Well, that depends. Does a "saved" person commit sins? If yes, then -- if he/she doesn't repent for those sins and isn't forgiven -- of course he/she will go to hell.
We go to hell/heaven depending on our intentions and actions in this life. If they're good, we're forgiven and are granted heaven; if they're bad, hell is the abode.
But that's just my (Islamic) belief. No one's obligated to agree.
Peace and blessings be upon the world!

I believe that once a person exercises saving faith in Jesus Christ, he or she is forever in the family of God. God never kicks anyone our of his forever family. A number of Scripture passages support this view. For example, in 1 Corinthians 12:13 we are told that at the moment of salvation the Holy Spirit places us in the body of Christ. Once we are infused into the body of Christ, we are never excised from the body. In fact, Ephesians 1:12 and 4:30 indicate that at the moment of believing in Jesus Christ for salvation, we are permanently "sealed" by the Holy Spirit. At that point, we are God's everlasting property. That seal guarantees that we'll make it to heaven.
Moreover, we read in John 10:28-30 that it is the Father's purpose to keep us secure despite anything that might happen once we have trusted in Christ. Nothing can snatch us out of His hands. God's plans cannot be thwarted (Isaiah 14:24). Further, Romans 8:29-30 portrays an unbroken chain that spans from the predestination of believers to their glorification in heaven.
Another fact we need to keep in mind is that Christ regularly prays for each Christian (Hewbews 7:25). With Jesus interceding for us, we are sucure. (His prayers are always answered!)
Of course, the fact that a believer is secure in his salvation does not mean he is free to sin. If the Christian sins and remains in that sin, Scripture says that God will discipline him or her just as a father disciplines his children (see Hebrews 12:7-11).

The Bible does talk about the ability to be blotted out of the Book of Life, i.e. lose your Salvation. I think this might have something to do with blasphame against the Holy Spirit. In other words, despite having faith at one time, you at some point sincerely reject the Lord.

Saved means that one has accepted Christ as personal Savior. Then, this person has eternal life and is spared from going to Hell. How can someone lose ETERNAL life? www.gotquestions.org

If a person is truly saved and lives by the Word, then no, they cannot...
If they are saved but does worldly deeds that are ungodly they will not get any rewards from God

The rule of thumb is , if you still want to go to Heaven, you haven't committed the Unpardonable Sin.
It is hard to commit this sin, it takes time to commit it, and Very Few Children of GOD commit it.
Don't let the Devil scare you, he tells GOD's Kids that, to keep'm from growing up and then giving him (devil) a Hard Time.
Keep on Reading the Bible, Growing in Faith, Going to the gathering's (what most call going to church) so on and Love Jesus ALL THE WAY TO HEAVEN!
DITTO, see ya there one day, my Bro.'s and Sis.'s in Christ!
