"Do you begrudge God if He decides to be magnanimous and save this little native?"

Oooh, that sounds like a Calvinist perspective.

"Do you think God judges a 7 year old the same as a 35 year old?"

I think I've mentioned that God judgement is perfectly just, merciful, loving and righteous. He'll handle it.

"God doesn't need us in order to turn the heart of the bushman."

I honestly don't think we're as far apart in beliefs as you may think.

That's very true. I don't believe in "double" predestination. I affirm that the natural man is depraved, but not "total." And I don't think grace is irresistable, hence I think everyone gets a sufficient amount, though some get an abundance.
