What was the definition of the spiritual gift of the word of Knowledge in early pentecostalism?

I will ask a series of questions concerning individual spiritual gifts (pneumatika/charismata), or manifestations of the Spirit in 1 Cor 12. The first questions are about the gift of **the word (logos) of knowledge (gnosis)** (1 Cor 12:8). In most teaching in the *charismatic/neo-pentecostal* movements, this gift is about supernaturally revealed insights about specific facts, usually medical conditions. However, the Pentecostal theologian [Donald Gee](http://www.pentecostalpioneers.org/DonaldGee.html) considered this gift to be more of a "turbo-charged" (obviously not his words) natural understanding. This is from his book *Concerning Spiritual Gifts*, originally published in 1947. I highly suspect that the definition now in use arouse during the healing revival in the 50's and that Gee's view was the mainline pentecostal one before that movement. Can anyone enlighten me if I am right or wrong. Arguments from original sources are very much preferred. BTW, when I ask about the view in *early pentecostalism*, I mean the view from the leaders and teachers of the first generation (1900-1940). P.S. I am not looking for what one might consider to be the *correct* answer. I've done my exegesis homework and agree with Gordon Fee, that we simply can not know exactly what Paul originally intended. Fee says: > Most likely, it is a "Spirit utterance" of some revelatory kind... > How the content of such utterance makes *gnosis* as distinguished from > "wisdom" or "revelation", is perhaps forever lost to us. I will ask some more questions for additional aspects. 1. From *God's Empowering Presence*, Baker Academic, 1994, pages 167-168.
