The Comforter has Come, the Comforter has Come, or has It/He?

To get an understanding of who or what the Comforter/Helper is let's look at everything the scriptures say about it:

John 14:15-21, 25-26

15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he (it) may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 
20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. 
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. 26  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he/it shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (Whatsoever he said to them)!
KJV

John 16:7-15
 "But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the helper shall not come to you; but if I go, I will send it to you. 8 "And when it comes will convict the world concerning sin, righteousness, and judgment; 9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you no longer behold me; 11 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. 12 "I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 "But when it, the spirit of truth, comes, it will guide you into all the truth; for it will not speak on its own initiative, but whatever it hears, it will speak; and it will disclose to you what is to come. 14 "It shall glorify me; for it shall take of mine, and shall disclose it to you. 15 "All things that the Father has are mine; therefore I said, that it takes of mine, and will disclose it to you.
FSW

John 15:26-27
 "When the helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, it will bear witness of me, 27 and you will bear witness also, because you have been with me from the beginning. 
FSW

Here are most of the things that this thing is going to do when it comes:
  1. It shall teach you all things(not some)
  2. It shall bring all things to your remembrance, whatever Jesus has said to you.
  3. It will reprove the world of sin.
  4. It will reprove the world of righteousness
  5. It will reprove the world of judgment
  6. It will guide you into all truth (not some)
  7. It will show you things to come.
I can't speak for anyone else, but the spirit I received when I made Jesus my Lord and spoke in tongues hasn't done allof these things! In light of the fact that Jesus did not know about the Secret, which God kept hidden from all the Hebrew prophets, this Comforter was designed to do the above things for Jesus's Flock until he returned.

Matt 26:31-32
 Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. 32 But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.
