Yes, Carl, you are correct. I am wondering about a
passage that refers to the Holy Spirit, specifically
Acts 2:16. Here, the Holy Spirit is referred to with a
neuter pronoun (TOUTO) despite the fact that there
is not a neuter antecedent. However, Peter proceeds to
quote a passage from Joel that does use the neuter
PNEUMATOS, and therefore I was inquiring as to whether
or not this noun would determine the gender of the preceeding
pronoun. However, as someone who is trying to grasp
various rules of Greek grammar in general, I was hoping
that there was somekind of universal rule relegating the
correspondence between the gender of nouns and pronouns.
Thanks,
