Not necessarily. People who talk about the sun rising in the East still know that the Earth actually resolves. In the back of their minds most Christians know that it all goes back to Exodus 3:14 and John 1:1 even when talking about God in more anthropomorphic ways and even if they don't know the exact theology.
