Four times in
Scriptures Holy Spirit, Person, is called The Comforter.John 14:16,17. And I will pray Father, And He shall give you another Comforter...the Spirit of truth.
John 14:26. But Comforter, Holy Ghost, Whom Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things.
John 15:26. But when Comforter is come, Whom I will send unto you from Father, (the Spirit of truth), Who proceedeth from Father, He shall testify of Me.
John 16:7-11. Nevertheless I tell you truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for it I go not away, Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, 1 will send Him unto you. And when He is come, He will reprove world of sin, and of righteousness; and of judgment: Of sin because they believe not on Me; Of .righteousness, because 1 go to My Father, and ye see Me no more; Of judgment, because Prince of this world is judged.
These references leave no doubt as to identity of The Comforter. The Lord speaks of 3 distinct Persons, Himself, Father, and The Comforter. These 3 Persons are God, but no 2 of them can be equated with each other. Now figure this out. See note on Deuteronomy 6:4 in Companion Bible.
Many years ago a great theologian tried to prove that reprove in John 16:8 really meant enlighten. However there was no proof that such could be meaning. It is reprove or convict.
