Group pressure forced Langston into doing something that was totally against his good judgment. When Langston's friend Westley went send the pressure increased twofold.

When Adam saw that Eve had taken of the fruit and was unharmed, he too ate of the tree of knowledge. Westley for real hadn't been struck dead, so why not give in to save supplementary trouble? If he didn't get saved every person would turn against him. In a sense the congregation became his God because they pushed him into going to the platform.
The author gains the respect of the reader by telling the story from his point of view and in his own voice. He tells the story truthfully as accurately as he can remember it.
The very vivid descriptions of the church, the preacher, and his aunt, help keep the momentum of the story rolling. Langston provides the main character an audience and the reader a bit of human excitement. He recreates the true drama of facing an opposing force without any face help.
Although Langston Hughes believed in the reality of Jesus, he was deceivingly forced into doing something wholly against his will. He fooled every person by manufacture an insincere decision. His emotions and feelings come out in the end of the story. Langston could hear himself mental while the ordeal and he knew that he was alone. His final decision was based on what was sufficient for the congregation, not himself.
"Salvation" is an awesome portrayal of what true salvation is all about. It is a heart decision, not just walking down an aisle. It was Keith Green, the Gospel Artist, who once said: "Going to church doesn't make you a Christian, anymore than going to McDonald's makes you a hamburger." Endquote!
It is my sincere desire that those who don't know the Lord who read "Salvation" may understand what it for real says in I John 1:9: If we confess with our mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in our heart that God raised him from the dead, we shall be saved."
Notice, confession is from confidence in the heart, not out of peer pressure or submission to what every person else wants you to do. I sincerely believe "Salvation" by Langston Hughes makes those who have merely walked down an aisle, not because they wanted to find Jesus, think twice.
When one truly finds Christ, it'll be from the heart, not from whatever else.
