It's all encompassing.

You don't really believe that, do you? Even if you left the heathens out of your question, your reasoning is flawed. Not all who profess to be Christian are doing things that are acceptable to God. At Matt. 7:22, 23, it says: "Many will say to me in that day, `Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?` And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew you. Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness."
So, no. Not everyone is performing God's work, even when they say they are.

Yeah, it's possible.
Some say it's true and EVERYTHING is God's plan.
I'm not sure if Jesus was being General or Specific when he told Pilate "everything is fixed."
If that is the case, however, then God can fault any of us and ALL of us deserve to go to Heaven, because God makes all that happens happen.
This defeates, of course, the concept of "free will" which is also talked about in the Bible.
It means if Pilate really had the cahunas, he would have let Jesus go

I think God could use all situations for His Glory, even the work of heathens.

Definitely!!! God can, has and will use all for His Glory, read in Genesis about the Pharaoh. God used Him to Glorify His Own Name---this lets people know that GOD IS all powerful--always will be

That is exactly what I believe.
One God....many people....it's all part of the all and the everything, of what was, what is and what will eventually be.
God's plan....put into motion...the outcome is up to all of us as a human race.

Wasn't this the whole point of Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s book "Cat's Cradle"?

Yes---
"I am the alpha and omega..."
"With God, all things are possible."
"God works in mysterious ways."
Everything is through God.
