It isn't my greatest wish to criticise some professor who is teaching a course; however, unless you have misunderstood what was said, I must disagree. AUTOS is the simple 3rd pn while EKEINOS is a demonstrative. It is the difference between "he ("she" or "it")" and "that one." As an indication of how frequently it is used, AUTOS, -H, -O appears 273 times in the nominative in the NT while EKEINOS, -H, -O appears 107 times in the NT in the nominative.

To One and All--
My professor steered us away from using the personal pronoun for
he, she, it (AUTOS) in the nominative case (as a subject). Instead she
advised that we use the demonstrative, EKEINOS. I am wondering what
other alternative might serve as a personal pronoun in place of
EKEINOS? Thank you.
