In my opinion, Salvation is not necessarily about having a daily revival. Honestly, it is what you do afterwards that matters a lot. Yes, when someone gets saved, it is always a great moment full of applause and cheering but it should not be a thing to where people feel pressured. I think that the Aunt may have gone a little overboard with begging her nephew to receive Jesus. Another thing I feel that is different is what you experience during that time. According to the story, Hughes’ aunt pretty much implied that when you get saved, you see some sort of light and you can see Jesus. That is not exactly true for everyone, everybody has different encounters whenever they receive
