hOTAN DE ELQH EKEINOS, TO PNEUMA THS ALHQEIAS...

TO PNEUMA is neuter and EKEINOS is masculine...right?

I always understood that your noun and pronoun had to agree (case, number, gender), but if EKEINOS is for PNEUMA then they would not seem to match.  I was curious about this.

I am not interested in the theological aspect of it, necessarily.  I am wanting to understand the Greek aspect of it.  Is there an exception that makes the rule or am I missing something simple?  Any help would be appreciated.
