Nadav and Avihu offered ketoret with ulterior motives and were therefore
put to death. Pinchas, on the other hand, acted on behalf of the nation,
and was therefore spared.

Eldad and Meidad prophesied among the people and were not punished
because they prophesied on behalf of the nation. They stated that
Moshe Rabbeinu would die, and Yehoshua would lead the nation into
Eretz Yisrael.

“Pinchas son of Elazar son of Aharon the
Kohen saw, and he stood up from amid the
assembly and took a spear in his hand. He
followed the Israelite man into the tent and
pierced them both, the Israelite man and the

woman into her stomach – and the plague was
halted from upon the Children of Israel”
(Bamidbar 25:7-8)
