We've visited this church a few times when visiting Estes Park, Colorado from a neighboring state.
.
We were sensing a lot of pride in the leadership including in Hal and the guy teaching the Bible class named Dan.
Does anyone know more about this church and Hal Irvine?
My husband and I have reason for concern and were wondering if anyone has additional information.
Well after hearing Hal speak, his Calvinist leanings began quickly to show.
That's all we needed to run for the hills!
Hal Irvine is a false teacher, plain and simple.
I left this church soon as Hal became the pastor. Something just wasn't right.
Bad hire on the part of Mountain View for certain.
Our family left because of the increasing Calvinistic things Hal Irvine was teaching.
Very concerning to put it lightly.
This is not a good fellowship.
Irvine is indoctrinated, very hard, rigid, and unteachable.
I am struck by the "long on vitriol, short on facts" nature of the comments here. Hal Irvine has served his community, his country, his God and God's people with love and integrity for years. The blinders of legalism, jealousy and bitterness may obscure that, sadly, from some - but doesn't make it any less true. God knows...
God does know and so do many who've been members at this local church. Perhaps your eyes will be opened at some point. the slander being talked about here is fact that many have witnessed.
@RN1951
How is talking bad about other people serving them?
How does military service undo wrongdoing and sin?
Integrity?
RNI, (Hal's brother) Please advise the lawyers name and address for the WILL information, since I was not notified when your father and mother passed. I know I was in the WILL, and somehow, I was "overlooked". Deception is a sin...Norma informed me I would be notified, I was not!
The ex
Bad company for sure.
If you're looking for a sound, New Testament fellowship, this is not it.
These things are true. Hal only surrounds himself with people who agree with him. Anyone who disagrees is ousted.
Hal also uses derogatory names for people who do not agree with him. Unfortunately, most of those who disagreed with Hal have been correct but Hal will not be corrected.
Totally fake church because of this guy.
Not real at all.
Hal is a professional clergyman who most likely has never been born again.
He heavy on intellectual thought from heretical reformers and light on substance.
This man is not a man of truth but rather tradition and he is inflexible, hardened in heart, with a seared conscience.
Hal constantly sows discord and refuses to make it right with those he's sinfully attacked.
Our family left this church because Hal Irvine continually derides others behind their backs.
Lots and lots of gossip.
Not a good church.
Hal turned the service over to a Catholic priest.
We could not believe it.
There's a lot of talk about this.
Our family left because of Hal.
Not good.
Many have left and many getting ready to leave.
You are sensing something accurately.
