Used against modalism to argue that the Holy Spirit is personally distinct, since he does not speak on his 'own authority' but on another's.
This verse was used against a Oneness/modalist view: the Spirit 'will not speak on his own authority' and 'will hear,' so the hosts argued the Spirit is personally distinct from the Father.
Cited by a Muslim guest to argue that the coming figure 'he will hear and speak' matches Muhammad receiving revelation; the host rejected this and treated the passage as about the Holy Spirit.
Quoted because the Spirit 'will not speak on his own' but only what he hears; this was used to argue the Spirit is a distinct personal subject, not Jesus speaking as another mode.
