For anyone,
Could you answer my question?
My quesition is if a sentence; "I heard that her birthday came soon " is correct or not.
I think that it should be "I heard that her birthday was coming soon."

Yep, native speakers would either say:
"I heard that her birthday was coming soon.'
Or, commonly also:
"I heard that her birthday is coming soon.'
"I heard that her birthday came soon,"-- this would be incorrect as it would imply that magically her birthday arrived sooner than expected. :)
