The dead works and teaching ordinances, such as circumcision, water baptism, etc. are not necessary for people in a terrestrial state or higher.
The Book of Jubilees has even the angels as circumcised.
What is done in the temple in heaven, according to prophets who have ascended there? It would be some of what you call “dead works.”
Remember the Old Testament prophecy that Angel Moroni quoted to Joseph Smith about what was yet to come:
Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
From what I can tell from scriptures, when the Gentiles have had their day, the Israelites among them will rise and the law will be restored, not as it was during the Herodian high priests of Paul’s day, but as it was originally given.
