These are things that the prophets of old did through faith. By faith they raised people from the dead. By faith they accepted that the kingdom of heaven promised was far better to acquire than anything on earth, and so they acquiesced to torture rather than compromise their faith and their hope in attainment of the promise.
Their resurrection will be "better" if on the judgment day they can say that their faith was never compromised, not even in the face of torture.
Heavenly rewards are not equal among those that make heaven.
