If someone will follow God far enough he will lead them to a saving faith in Jesus.

I agree. Even if they remain ignorant about Jesus. Cause it's about the heart being moved by, and responding to God, not about accepting the truthfullness of a historical narrative or a salvational proposition.

however since God is Soverign He has the Ability to control any circumstances and change them. So your supposition that there could be "certain Circumstances" is I believe impossible!

You are basically saying that if God chooses to save a savage with no way of knowing about Jesus, the savage will by some quirk of circumstance become in possession of a Bible or somehow gain the knowledge required.

(The "quirk" of course being planned by God.)

I think that if God chooses to save a savage He will save a savage. Knowledge on the savage's part is not a prerequisite to salvation.

Well said. you are right God can do what ever He wants however he wants he Is bound only by Himself which is an interesting question in and of itself. however lets get to the real question we are not a couple of aborigines or bushmen we are communicating on one of the most advanced means of communication ever devised We are not ignorant the question is what do you believe about Jesus? we are responsible and we have the knowledge, but do we believe?.....I Do!
and oh yes if HE brings them to a saving faith in Jesus they will know about Jesus.
